Gaming News - September 2004
CA (September 27, 2004) - Rampant Games announced today that Void War
is complete and available.
From Rampant Games:
Void War takes retro style space combat to a whole new level, combining the
easy to learn game play of earlier space combat simulators with modern
technology. Void War features two modes of play, Multiplayer and Single Player.
Each mode of play has sub-modes as well. Single Player games can be played in
Campaign Mode and in Death Match mode. Multiplayer games can be played on teams
mode or every man for himself.
Void War features 6 different ships, each with their own unique and special
abilities. For instance you could take the Renoun with its high thrust and
glossed handling with its “vampire” leech ray or the FireBolt with its easy
handling and low top speed, armed with quad lasers and deadly missiles. Combat
in Void War takes place in areas called “void points.” These void points are
surrounded by an electric field, creating a sort of deep space arena. Flying
into the electric field will not harm you, but the further you get outside the
arena the stronger the force will be pulling you back in. Placed randomly
throughout each arena are special items, such as missile packs, enhanced
shields, instant-recharge, and repair bots. Learning to fight and grab pickups
at the same time is challenging, but only through this can you become a true
Void Runner.
The Campaign Mode features a campy story about a young man seeking his love,
who happens to be a war heroine, who’s gone missing in search of a strange alien
craft that has appeared at the edge of known space. Lance Dawson must battle his
way through hordes of claim jumpers, all of whom want the alien craft for a
variety of devious purposes. There are three difficulty settings to chose from,
which provides challenge for any skill level, and when you think you have
mastered the art of space dog fighting, head online to battle other Void Runners
from across the globe!
The best feature is Void War is free to try. You can even play the demo
online against other people! So download Void War from
www.voidwar.com and show
the world what it means to be a “void runner.”
