The Story:
Basically, instead of an old fashion way of telling a story. I decided to upload pictures of things that happened within the story, so you get an actual view of what happened and such.
Prologue:
Captain's Log
Date 2207::2nd cycle of the new moon.
My crew members of the 26th platoon have been assigned an in and out reconnaissance mission in exploration for extraterrestrial life on planet X-901.
When receiving this information from Admiral Antherost from the Azeroth United Legion's Council, I was receiving a feeling that they were not telling me everything. What it was they were not telling me, I do not know at this time. I hope it was just a bad feeling, but to be safe I told my crew to be prepared for anything.
Captain's Log
Date 2207::3rd cycle of the new moon.
We have been hit from orbit by what we do not know yet. Three of my crew members were killed in the emergency landing, and the ship is damaged beyond repair. Thankfully, we still have the radio intact and are sending out an S.O.S. transmission as I speak.
We have been on planet X-901 for eleven of its night cycles and have not yet encountered any intelligent life. Sergeant Zret Stonehowl has said that it the planets orbit might have pulled us in to strongly resulting in the crash. I am not to sure about that.
At night I see from the corner of my eyes, creatures resembling bugs. I keep it to myself as I do not want to start a commotion, as it might just be my eyes playing tricks on me, for all I know it might be the dehydration that has started to occur to us. It probably is nothing to worry about.

You know when I said it was nothing to worry about? BULL SHIT. These creatures are intelligent, deadly, and relentless. They just keep coming. It is like there are millions of them. If help does not come soon, I don't know what. . . . . .

Game Mechanics
Survive waves of the most dangerous aliens known to man till help arrives. You choose from 8 characters who all have there own abilities and are made for a specific game style but with enough wiggle room for you to practically choose anyone and have fun. Once you pick your character you can choose a secondary profession. There are four secondary professions: Architect (Creates barricades and towers), Engineer (Creates weapons.), Miner (Mines for supplies for other professions), and finally Doctor (Produces medic kits, drugs, etc.)
Updated asap.
Alien Manifestations:
Drones:
| These little buggers are deadly, alone or in a group. Once you kill one, it explodes, creating two larva. Which isn't that bad if were talking about one drone. But you never see one drone by itself. They come by the dozen.
You think these buggers are bad know, wait till you meet the larva. You'll be jumping, with fear. |
Larva:
| Once a drone is killed he spawns two larva. These guys really take the cake. Especially cause the cake is a lie. They can either attack from afar or up close and all larva have a very intense acidic poison. It penetrates your armor and starts eating you up. I recommend a daily spray of OFF! Bug Spray on these guys.
I recommend you take them out before they take you out. |
Zergling:
| These guys are your run of the mill grunts for this alien race. They have moderate hp, attack, and movement. They progress through the game just as you do. The better you get, the better they get. But they have way more friends then you do, 'cause myspace just don't count sometimes.
|
Hydralisk:
| Think larva, on steroids, plus super powers, and it eats all of its veggies. He is a lean, not green, eating machine. These guys spew acidic poison at you and there not easy to take down. So unless you have alot of medic kits and teammates to back you up, your dead.
|
Lurker:
| They attack from the ground, stunning anyone they hit with there first hit. Besides that fact, there actually pretty easy to take down....if they don't eat you first that is...
|
Ultralisk:
| Hate these guys, there like big woolly mammoths. Extremely hard to take down.
|
Darts:
| These guys come as fast as they leave. Pesky buggers that are just a waste of ammunition.
