GAMEPLAY EXPERIENCE

Type of game:
Co-operation (up to 3 players) or solo
Players are fighting against a computer-controlled environment, where tactics and caution are more important than quick reflexes. It is a first-person shooter (FPS) experience: players embody their characters and see its point of view.
Online game: mandatory connection to the internet.

Player’s goals:
Players have one main goal: cooperating to maintain and face the alien threat. Each player must take care of their teammates and not eliminate them.
They have to complete in their sessions several objectives, involving collecting samples, pulling data from computers or scanning anomalies.

• Move around the map: walk, run, prone.
• Use stealth or attack head on.
• Choose one of the 19 operators, each with their own specific weapons and playstyle.
• Use powerful weapons and explosives.
• Manage their supplies: players have limited ammunition.

DURATION

For every game:
There is no perfect duration for a session. Each player or parent must decide. In any case, the time per session should not be detrimental to basic needs: eating, sleeping, socializing with friends and family, going to school…

More specifically for this game:
Each Incursion (or mission) is split up into three Sub-Zones. Depending on the objective and the approach chosen, it can take between 5 to -15 minutes to complete a Sub-Zone. You can then extract or end a mission, whenever you choose, so you do not need to complete all three Sub-Zones on one map before the Incursion ends.
