It is evident that this game is meant to be massively multi-player, with the ability to organize your friends into 'factions' and compete. You can take part in groups for all major geographical areas. I.E. Australia, Europe, United States etc.
This game can also be played alone, which is my style. It is a sci-fi game, as you can see from the screenshot above. Your spacecraft has returned to Earth from a mission and aliens have decimated our civilization. In addition, there is a zombie plague going on and it is your duty to evacuate survivors. You can tell these folks because they are wearing C-Zone clothing, which is yellow.
While loading these good folks, you must kill numerous bad guys. These Xenos (aliens) include Grunts, Snipers, Drones, Crawlers, Walkers, Teleporters and Scythes. I have played the initial level numerous times and failed to conquer it so far. Be ready to rock and roll because there are at least 15 bad guys and very little time to find and kill them. The darn snipers can shoot you from a mile away. They prowl the rooftops of skyscrapers. If you shoot the grunts, the zombies and mutants come out to play.
There is an array of weapons at your disposal. Of course there are the now inevitable upgrades and in app purchases, which is cool because they sell you this game for 99 cents at the moment. That price is temporary, by the by.
The graphics are quite good and the controls seem okay. You can also get cash and ammo by shooting crates and doing missions, such as making a kill by shooting a barrel and blowing an enemy to smithereens.
There are supposed to be several more of this series produced in the near future. That said, the initial menu only shows three battle zones; New York, Frankfurt and Shenzhen. This seems to be like the 'maps' of some of the on-line games. I wonder about the depth of the game, but it certainly doesn't take much to be worth a dollar.
Don't be too discouraged at the start because initially it is irritating. You are going to constantly be 'evacuated' when you fail to protect all the civilians and kill enough enemies. Each time you must walk back through the menu and reload screen, which is a minor irritation.
Overall, I feel this game has great potential. At this price I would definitely check it out and make your own determination. Especially for those who dig multi-player.
By the way, you can buy different camos, even pink ones for the discerning gamer. I bought some sandy colored ones for 3 medals.
