Oil Rush

About

Oil Rush is a real-time strategy game set in a drowned world after nuclear war reshaped the planet. You build bases on sinking platforms while managing resources and directing fleets of ships. Combat and economy take center stage over micromanaging individual units. Focus shifts between gathering materials, upgrading facilities, and launching naval attacks to outmaneuver rivals. The interface keeps core systems streamlined but lets you tweak production and defense priorities in real time. Set in 2012 but feeling ahead of its time for its minimal UI clutter, Oil Rush blends resource management with tactical fleet battles. Multiplayer and singleplayer campaigns let you test strategies against AI or human opponents. Though lesser known, its emphasis on balancing long-term planning with sudden skirmishes earned a dedicated following among strategy fans. The post-apocalyptic oceanic setting and direct control over industrial output make it stand out from typical RTS fare.
