StoryIGDB

The quest to destroy the One Ring continues in the first real-time strategy game based on The Lord of the Rings saga. Massive battles erupt as the forces of light and darkness fight for control of Middle-earth. The more units you destroy, the more experience and visual enhancements you earn. Play as the forces of good and valiantly fight for the ring's destruction or play as the forces of evil to claim control over Middle-earth forever.
