Shadowgrounds
Shadowgrounds is an epic sci-fi game that blends addictive
oldschool gameplay and modern technology into an alien-battling carnage
festival.
The
game is a fast-paced top-down shooter similar to the Alien
Breed series. Like the earlier game Death Rally, Shadowgrounds presents
an anachronistic concept with modern resources. The plot of a monster
attack on a space colony exists only as a thin justification for the
action, monsters are plentiful and weapons large.
Shadowgrounds has an impressive weapon arsenal that lets you
kill aliens in many cool ways. But that's not all! Each weapon can be
upgraded three times with powerful modifications! Unleash the flames of
the flamethrower's fuel trap, cause mayhem with the grenade launcher's
poison grenades, slash and dice the monsters with the laser rifle's
pinpoint laser, and many more!
Shadowgrounds uses cutting-edge realistic lighting and glow
technology to light up the battlefield.
Procedural texturing system enables virtually unlimited number
of animatable effects such as water and lava. The lighting
and the flashlight also affect some aliens' behaviour. Take advantage
of that and turn the tide of fear against the enemy.
Shadowgrounds
Survivor is the sequel to Shadowgrounds.
