The game is setup in one of 17 naturally looking settings, which -like the unit models- are crafted with great appreciation for detail. A lot of additional game data can be downloaded from within the game at no cost.
Set in a fantasy world with seven factions: Magic, Tech, Indians, Egypt, Norsemen, Persian and Romans, which together form the Megapack.[1 Each come with their own set of units, buildings and upgrades, advantages and disadvantages, which allows for variation in strategy while keeping a balanced gameplay. For example, the Tech faction uses traditional human warriors and hasmedieval mechanical devices in its arsenal, and are strong in melee combat while the Magic faction is designed for more advanced players with most of their units morphed from or summoned by others. Magic lacks the hand-to-hand combat strength of the Tech faction but features more versatile units. Tilesets are selected at the new game setup menu and determine the graphical nature of theMegaGlest game world. MegaGlest provides cross-platform online multiplayer LAN/Internet support.

The Japanese mod is an artistic mod with units and buildings inspired by historic Japanese warfare.Prax is another fantasy-themed tech tree which bears some similarities to MegaGlest’s Magic and Tech factions but improves upon them, bearing both units and structures with very different properties and making use of newer engine features.
