Irish game developer Star
Cave Studios announced
Illumina, an
upcoming PC online multiplayer semi-tactical first person shooter for PC.
Illumina is best described as an online multiplayer semi-tactical first
person shooter (FPS) set in the year of 2046. To the uninformed, Earth has been
ravaged by a devastating meteor collision that shattered earth's moon and rained
down onto the cities below. Following the initial devastation, cities where
destroyed, millions of lives were lost, and that was only the beginning! The
destruction of the moon affected earths gravitational rotation causing
unpredictable weather conditions resulting in frequent massive floods; In short,
at the end of the day, the world as we know it ... is history! Enter heroes of
justice!
Illumina features three basic game styles: Team Death-Match, Capture the Flag &
Conquest. In Conquest your team has to use its skills to overpower the opponents
to capture their bases; In Capture the Flag, each team slaughters their way
through the game, ranking up points by stealing the enemy flag and returning it
to the home base; Team Death-Match is the wholesome fun of destroying as many
opponents as possible – kill or get killed! Illumina also features a multitude
of vehicles and other means of transportation such as jeeps, fighters and tanks!
Weaponry consist of, among other options, iron sighted machine guns, scoped
machine guns, shotguns, sniper riffles, rocket launchers and tactical utilities
such as smoke grenades, flash bang grenades, C4 & Fragmentation! Phew!
Illumina is currently in development by Star Cave Studios Limited and offers
unlimited hours of mayhem, havoc and destruction! The game is NOW available in a
playable (BETA) version featuring LAN and multiplayer functionality! A single
player feature is scheduled to be implemented prior to retail release, and a
version for Apple Mac is also on the agenda. In addition to this, Star Cave
Studios Limited is working on a number of undisclosed features guaranteed to
give you nightmares!
