Gameplay

In The L.E.D. Wars, players become involved in a futuristic conflict where multinational corporations battle for control over the scarce and vital Life Evolution Drug (L.E.D.), a substance essential for human survival following a genetic disaster. The gameplay centers around real-time strategy mechanics, allowing players to build unlimited combat units and structures, manage corporate assets, and expand across vast maps. Players must plant, grow, harvest, and refine the led plant to produce L.E.D. pills, all while defending their operations with amphibious, land, air, and sea units. The game offers extensive single-player and multiplayer modes, including up to 20 multiplayer levels and support for up to 8 players via network or internet play. A built-in Windows 95 editor lets players create custom maps and scenarios. [2]
