The cheapest Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins key that activates in New Zealand costs $15.37 at Eneba (Steam, GLOBAL key). Checked .
In the space of fifty years, Earth changed from a planet on cusp of a challenging future to a world a breath away from lifelessness and plunged into an apocalyptic time of ecological disaster, global warfare and the meltdown of human civilization. This is the time of the Maelstrom. In this ravaged world, the planet's dwindling resources have divided what remains of mankind in two: the urban freedom fighting 'Remnants' and the technologically advanced 'Ascension'. Now they must wage war against a new threat, the invasion of a savage alien race, the Hai-Genti, and each other in a desperate struggle for supremacy and survival. Through the game's missions, take command from different viewpoints and employ faction-specific tactics and weaponry to achieve your objectives. Complete with the ability to terraform landscapes and transform units, Maelstrom provides gamers with the power to harness the forces of nature in the most frantic, destructive, action-packed RTS game yet. A stunning mix of action-packed RTS missions set in a totally destructible and immaculately realised environment. A devastated future Earth becomes the battleground as a divided human race fights for survival against alien invaders. Through the game, players control each of the game's three factions - the Remnants, Ascension and the alien Hai-Genti - each with unique identities, strengths and tactics. Modify the terrain and use the elements as a strategic weapon. Create valleys, carve out lakes, freeze water, melt ice, create tornadoes and even control the wind. Characters grow experience and level up with new abilities as you progress through the game.
Prices last checked . Each is the price the store lists; marketplaces add a service fee at checkout.

Not always. Stores that sell their own keys, such as Steam and GOG, add no service fee, though sales tax is added at checkout in the US and Canada. Marketplaces add a service fee at checkout, and some payment methods add their own, so on a marketplace the total at checkout will be higher than the price listed here.
Not all of them. Keys sold for another region (ROW, UNITED STATES) may not activate on an account registered in New Zealand; that applies to 2 of the 7 offers here. The cheapest key named above does.
Official stores sell their own keys. Marketplaces and third-party sellers sell keys from other sellers: check the seller and the key’s region before you buy, and pay through the store’s own checkout.
