Posted by Björn May 24, 2007
G2 Games has announced that they will be publishing the FPS "Alpha Prime" in the UK which is scheduled to be released this Friday, the 25th.
"As a mining inspector the player is tasked with exploring an illegal asteroid mining base to investigate the disappearance of its inhabitants. However, more pressing is why the mining robots and other autonomous systems are trying to put an end to his inspection, permanently.
The story leads the player through several distinct environments - the inspector's spaceship, damaged by enemy fire from within the asteroid, technical facilities, laboratories, crew quarters, mining shafts and more. On his quest to discover the secret of the asteroid the player will fight not only the robots, but the station itself. Using the ship's radio he will talk to the navigator of a cargo vessel, one of the few people from the surrounding area to somehow remain alive. Walking down the empty halls and eerie corridors of the industrial complex the player will meet several survivors willing to help. Or so it would appear..
The futuristic technologies in the game are one of the key features. If a player runs out of ammunition or they can use their RECON, a hacking device that enables you to control from a distance various devices you find on your way through the dark halls and corridors of Alpha Prime. Also, by injecting yourself with “hubbardium”, a psychotropic semi-poisonous substance, players can initiate bullet-time maneuvering which decelerates time to a sluggish pace to give them the advantage against your opponents."
"Alpha Prime has been a highly successful title in Eastern Europe, and we are looking forward to similar success for the game in the UK," said Adam Cole, spokesperson for G2 Games. “The graphics alone are enough to warrant attention, and the gameplay is of an equivalent standard.”
