Stormrise

Well at least until they found the flaw in their perfect plan: Nature's ability to adapt.

Only known as the Happening, storms began to appear all over the planet.

Stronger than anything mankind had ever seen they brought destruction and death upon the world.

Whole cities where destroyed in just a few days and no end in sight.

With no way to escape, the building of gigantic underground cryogenic sleep caverns began.

Of course these caverns could only hold a privileged few and the rest was damned to stay on the surface, some starving to death, others going mad or killing each other.

But not everyone died.

Many adapted, using everything that was left from the storm and over the centuries transformed into the Sai, humans that are one with nature.

Meanwhile, deep down under the surface, the Echelon awaken from their sleep with the goal to reclaim their old planet.

Stormrise is a real-time strategy game without base building and a unique point of view.

Similar to Tom Clancy's EndWar the camera always follows a squad.

But instead of using voice commands to switch between everyone, a technology called "Whip Select" comes into play.

Holding a specific button down brings up a beam.

Moving the beam over the symbol of one of the squads and letting go then changes the camera position to that squad and then allowing the player to order that unit around with the help of the 3D-target cursor.

Instead of building a base and producing units there, the player starts with a pre-defined group of units in single player lead by Echelon-Commander Geary and a warp gate in multiplayer.

Stormrise for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €9.36 loose, €4.72 complete in box, and €7.81 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Stormrise has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Stormrise, loose is €9.36 and CIB is €4.72 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Stormrise is currently worth €9.36 loose, versus €7.40 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
