Total Mayhem \ Total Mania is an isometric action \ strategy game. It was made by Cinematix Studios and published by Domark in 1996.
The story of this game is about the planet Caetnor. It is the year 2156 and mighty syndicates are fighting for power and wealth. Ofcourse there is always some competition between them and to defend their plans, they use super advanced robo mechs. Some day, the mechs have gotten too intelligent and took over the control of the planet themself and now fight against their creators.
Small groups of rebels try to fight back. They steal robo technology and use it for their own needs. They created cyborg soldiers to fight for them and conquer the all the important military facilities and, while they are at it, destroy the AI mainframe computers which are located all over the planet so that the Mechs will get deactivated.
Gameplay is very simple, walk around, shoot everything that shoots at you and collect ammo, batteries, new technologies and resources like plutonium,silver, gold and other kind of materials. Most missions also have many secret areas that can be hard to find sometimes.You can get more loot and sometimes even early technologies you wouldn't normally get until later so it is always recommended to look around carefully.
You can equip your soldiers however you like and also upgrade your them with new armor, shields and generators so that they are more effective on future missions.
The game features music by Ronny Moorings of the band Clan of Xymox.
