Description
The game is set in a distant future during a war over Bacteria 241, a peculiar new source of energy from the bottom of the ocean. Scientists from company Eco Systems developed a method of extracting energy from Bacteria 241, but renegades from Proteus Tech want to control the harvesting of this substance. In the beginning of the game, you will choose which of these two factions to support as they battle for dominance. [10]
It is a 3D combat game, taking place entirely underwater. It can be played from the first or third person perspective, and contains no resource management or puzzles. You will choose one of three submarines, then set out equipped with 2D relief view and sonar maps to see enemies, obstacles, structures as you blast them out of your path. Your submarine is equipped with defensive and offensive equipment, including missiles and flares. The game has 24 missions, and 7 maps to complete.[10]
Multiplayer functionality is possible via LAN connection or the now defunct Heat.net. [11]
