Black Element Software announces that its single-player oriented sci-fi FPS will be available on IDEA Games' digital distribution service Sprocket later this month. Alpha Prime features a varied balance of combat and more technical activities such as hacking and remotely controlling robotic devices.
Alpha Prime is a first-person shooting game with a strong storyline, and fast-paced action. It's futuristic technologies alone make it something worth looking at. If you run out of ammunition or just don't feel like wasting it you can use your RECON, a hacking device that enables you to control from a distance various devices you find on your way through the dark halls and corridors of Alpha Prime. Also, by injecting yourself with hubbardium, a psychotropic semi-poisonous substance, you develop bullet-time maneuvering which decelerates time to a sluggish pace to give you the advantage against your opponents. And if that's not enough the real-time physics algorithms are so advanced that they will truly make you feel like you`re holding the gun!
"Alpha Prime has been successful in Poland and Russia, as well as in the Czech Republic. Now, we are glad to be releasing the English version," said Martin Klima, Lead Producer at IDEA Games. "With our online distribution system, gamers around the world can enjoy it without having to leave their home.
