Developed in the Philippines, the story for the game was inspired by the H.G.
Wells alien invasion classic novel written in 1898, but is retold within the
context of a contemporary setting. The viewpoint character is a law student
currently serving as a helicopter gunner in the National Guard. The game begins
on the fourth day of the Invasion, with the player ferrying a Special Forces team
into Downtown Manhattan for a mission that will decide the outcome of the War.
The player starts the game as a gunner in a helicopter delivering a Special Forces
team into Downtown Manhattan. During the insertion, the player’s chopper is shot
down and the Special Forces team is destroyed in an ambush. The player is the only
combat capable survivor of the team, and the fate of the entire mission rests on
his hands. During the course of the game the player will engage in combat with the
Alien Invaders in order to accomplish his mission. In order to accomplish his
objectives, the player will have to investigate multiple areas in Downtown Manhattan.
Because of the Invader War Machines occupying the city, he will have to navigate via
the subway tunnels. The player will be armed with a wide range of contemporary
military weapons, and he will have the opportunity to upgrade these weapons during
the course of the game. Furthermore, the game will encourage exploration of the huge
areas through the strategic placement of power-ups, clues and secrets in the various
areas. |
