The 2000s were full of ambitious and experimental real-time strategy games that tried something completely different. Perimeter (2004) is one of the most unusual and underrated examples.
This video presents the Full Story of Perimeter, including all major cutscenes, story sequences, dialogues and gameplay, allowing you to experience the complete campaign and its strange futuristic universe.
🌌 The Story of Perimeter:
In the distant future, Earth has become uninhabitable. Humanity has abandoned its homeworld and begun the Exodus, travelling through a mysterious dimension known as the Psychosphere in search of a new home.
But the Exodus is divided. Different factions have developed radically different ideas about the future of humanity, while the strange worlds of the Psychosphere hide dangers that threaten them all.
The result is a dark and unusual science-fiction story that feels very different from the typical military or fantasy narratives found in classic RTS games.
⚡ What made Perimeter different?
Developed by the Russian studio K-D LAB, Perimeter was far more experimental than most RTS games of the early 2000s.
Its biggest innovation was terraforming. Instead of simply building a base on an unchanging map, players could actually reshape the terrain. Mountains could be flattened, terrain could be raised and lowered, and the battlefield itself became part of the strategy.
The game features:
• Terraforming and terrain deformation
• A unique energy and perimeter system
• Defensive shields protecting your base
• Dynamic battlefield construction
• Units that can transform using Nanomorph technology
• Three highly distinctive factions
• A dark and surreal sci-fi atmosphere
• An experimental electronic soundtrack
• A campaign built around a very unusual science-fiction universe
These mechanics made Perimeter stand out from more traditional classic RTS games such as Command & Conquer, Warcraft III, StarCraft, Age of Empires and Total Annihilation.
A forgotten Russian RTS classic:
Perimeter was created by K-D LAB, a Russian development studio known for its highly unconventional games. The studio had previously developed the cult classic Vangers, and Perimeter continued its tradition of creating strange and experimental worlds.
The game was particularly successful and well regarded in Russia and Eastern Europe. At the KRI 2004, Perimeter won awards including Best PC Game and Best Game Design.
In the West, however, Perimeter remained much more of a cult classic and niche RTS. Western critics generally received it positively, but it never achieved the same mainstream recognition as major strategy franchises such as Command & Conquer, Warcraft, StarCraft or Age of Empires.
That makes Perimeter one of those fascinating forgotten PC games from the 2000s that many Western gamers may have missed completely.
Today, it is remembered primarily by fans of retro PC gaming, classic RTS games and obscure strategy games.
