Fallen Haven

About

Fallen Haven is a 1997 PC strategy game where you command human forces defending the colony planet New Haven from the invading Tauran alien race. Each turn alternates between planning and action. During the strategic phase you manage research build bases and lay roads to support your forces. The tactical phase shifts to direct control of infantry vehicles artillery and aircraft as you clash with enemy dropships and mechanized units. Base placement and unit positioning matter heavily since the battlefield environment can shift during combat. The game stands out for its tight balance between long term planning and fast paced tactical decisions. With over 40 unit types and environmental hazards that change how you approach each battle Fallen Haven offers deep replayability. Though its 90s graphics and interface feel dated by modern standards strategy fans appreciate the polished mechanics and challenging AI. A small but dedicated community still discusses optimal build orders and unit synergies years after release.
