Gaming News - March 2003
Scottsdale, AZ (March 25, 2003) - ARUSH Entertainment and Groove Games
today announced that developer Digitalo's first person shooter Devastation is
shipping to North American retailers and will be on shelves this week at a MSRP
of $39.99.
From ARUSH:
The game features 22 huge singleplayer missions and a whopping 14 levels for
multiplayer, plus the ability to choose to play in either Arcade mode or
Simulation
mode, each with varying degrees of difficulty.
Developed with the next-generation Unreal Engine technology and enhanced
with Digitalo's own OFX particle system, Devastation pits a team of Resistance
fighters
against overwhelming armies of corporate shock-troopers in a relentless battle
through a dark and desolate future Earth, trapped in a technological dark age.
The singleplayer game plays through an intense storyline where linear
story-driven
missions dominate the first half, gearing players up for incredible dynamic
gameplay
as the final missions become more open-ended combat with a true team-centric
focus.
Online multiplayer game types include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture
the
Flag and a brand new team-based gamestyle called “Territories.” The game also
ships with a full-featured editor so fans can build and play in their own maps
with the most user-friendly interface ever developed. Devastation also
incorporates
MathEngine's Karma™ physics system, allowing for incredible ragdoll deaths and
giving players the ability to interact with their environment. Players can pick
up objects and move them around to block pathways, or throw items to cause
distraction,
or even make improvised weapons with lethal force.
“Devastation is a completely unbelievable experience,” said ARUSH
Entertainment
president and CEO Jim Perkins. “From its incredibly realistic graphics, to its
unique physics that enable you to grab practically anything and throw it at your
enemies, you will feel like you are actually a member of the Resistance fighting
for your life in this dark, dangerous vision of the future.”
