Homeworld 3's War Games Mode: A Fusion of Co-op, Roguelike, and RTS
Homeworld 3 introduces a new multiplayer co-op mode called War Games, which is a roguelike-inspired experience where one to three players face randomized challenges and must survive to progress. Each campaign starts with a predetermined fleet and players must balance attacking, defending, and researching ship upgrades while managing scarce resources. The mode can be played solo but is more enjoyable with friends, emphasizing coordination and cooperation. War Games showcases improvements in graphics and combat, taking place among destroyed alien megastructures. The announcement of War Games is part of the build-up to Homeworld 3's launch, which broadens its narrative focus and explores the impact of events on characters.
