Total Influence is a free-to-play tactical game developed by the domestic studio Light Vision Interactive. Battles take place in turn-based mode between various militarized groups striving to gain control over deposits of so-called “blue crystals.” This substance possesses unique properties and opens new horizons for humanity in terms of energy use. The crystals are obtained through the processing and synthesis of a special gas, but this process is nothing compared to the benefits that the extraction of “blue crystals” brings. Billions and trillions of currency units are at stake – the stakes are unimaginably high. However, reaching the deposits of the substance is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
The thing is, “blue crystals” are unlikely to be mined on Earth. In a parallel reality, another dimension, on another planet, but not on our “blue marble.” How does that happen? It's simple – Nikola Tesla meddled and worked some magic. The famous scientist did not die, as some believed, but was quite productively working for the good of humanity (to be precise, for the US government). The master of electricity found a way to teleport not only inanimate objects but also living people. However, the first experiment of this kind failed (tens of people died), but this sad fact did not stop the government of the stars and stripes country - the experiments continued with renewed vigor. Then, Nikola Tesla “died” for the world community, falling victim to the regime of extreme secrecy. Only a select few knew that the great scientist was alive and working within a project codenamed “Arizona.”
The financial investments did not go in vain - under Tesla’s vigilant supervision, an energy installation was built, which served as a gateway to a certain world where everything resembled Earth but was not Earth – no people, no civilization. Volunteers lined up for the interdimensional passage, and the construction of bases began – people settled in the new place. But, as it always happens, after some time, problems started. Nikola Tesla truly died, having not had the time to share the fundamental principles of teleportation with his colleagues. There were disruptions in sending people to “the other side,” and then the installation completely ceased to operate. When the scientists managed to restart the “shaitan machine,” it turned out that all the people who had found themselves in another dimension had somehow disappeared during the downtime of the machine. Naturally, the project was closed, and all developments were classified.
“Arizona” was only remembered when they began studying samples of rock extracted by miners. The very “blue crystal” turned out to be such a valuable mineral that research resumed - the preserved base started working again. The substance was delivered reliably to Earth, while the government turned a blind eye to the misdeeds of people who found themselves in the parallel dimension. There, in fact, real anarchy reigned - the “pioneers” and explorers quickly devolved into a clan system, turning into bandits and notorious criminals. And the reason for the sharp degradation was the very “blue crystals” - the thirst for wealth works wonders. If a player dares to visit the dangerous world of Total Influence, they will have a hard time.
