LEGO Rock Raiders is a 1999 LEGO-themed real-time strategy video game developed by Data Design Interactive and published by LEGO Media International for Windows.

Gameplay

LEGO Rock Raiders is a mission-based real-time strategy game with elements of construction simulation.[1][2]

Missions

LEGO Rock Raiders features twenty-five different missions. The game's mission selection screen displays a cross-section of the alien planet, with individual missions represented by cavern openings. Playable missions display an image of the mission in the cavern, while locked missions are darkened and blocked by beams. Hovering the cursor over an available mission will display its name, and a completed mission will also display its completion status and the player's achieved score for it. When starting a new game, only the first mission can be played; completing it unlocks the missions below it. The deeper into the planet a mission is located, the more difficult it is intended to be.[1][3]

Upon starting a mission, the character Chief presents a detailed briefing for the player, explaining the mission's situation and objective.[4]
