This Unreal Engine 3 powered third-person shooter puts players in the role of mercenaries vying for control over the world's oil supply in this free-to-play massive multiplayer online third-person shooter. Private military contractors are vying to win over oil supplies for the companies representing supply contracts to different countries due to a rise in terrorism. Gamers pick a “side” and ultimately throw out all forms of civility as they battle in 16 player PvP bouts for control of oil in levels designed around the theme of securing certain facilities associated with the “crisis”. The shooting mechanics in the game closely resembles Gears of War 2. The highlight, though, is that wall-covering and environmental manipulation plays a pretty big part in advancing through the ranks and burying the competition with a hail of gunfire. Many of the maps are large but with compact corridors and cover points littered throughout many of the levels to ensure that players just don’t run out into the open and get gunned down. Wall-hugging and melee attacks play a strong part in the actual gameplay of Hessian and it can be used to great advantage during team deathmatch and for exercising a little bit of stealth. There is actually a selection of different moves available for players to execute depending on the situation and position of the player. However, the game doesn’t just have standard close-combat moves but it also sports counter-moves that can be performed by players as well. Gamers have a fair selection of equipment, garb and accessories to choose from. The game is shut down. |
