Nuclear war has melted the ice caps, leaving a world of rising seas and scattered floating installations. You lead forces competing for control of oil and strategic positions across the flooded landscape.
Capture, upgrade, and defend oil rigs and production platforms. These sites generate resources and units, which you send in naval and air squads to take territory, reinforce positions, and fight rival forces without managing every unit individually.
Use oil to support your forces and pursue new technologies as missions introduce different battles and objectives. The single-player campaign spans 16 missions, while 15 multiplayer maps support matches over LAN or the internet.
Players who enjoy Oil Rush often point to its striking flooded-world visuals and distinctive platform-capture approach to naval strategy. Some also like its streamlined unit management and find the battles fun or nostalgic. Critical reviews describe limited direct control, uneven enemy difficulty, repetitive missions, and a campaign or story that feels thin.
