About This Game

A common legend pervades the galaxy-that of a powerful, highly intelligent ancient race that will one day deliver the universe. They are known as Humans.
Some claim they are the messiah. Others believe they exist only in the imaginations of the young. The Seekers, however, know Humans exist and believe they are an enemy that must be destroyed. Under the guise of benevolent explorers, Seekers comb the universe and eradicate any Human colonies they find. Until now.
Working with award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card, GlyphX Games has created a gripping storyline that will thrust gamers into an incredible intergalactic saga.
The Advent of Humanity Begins...

I didn't get that far into this game before I got sidetracked playing other games and then the years went by and graphics improved so I doubt I will finish the game. What I did play initially I liked and so I will say recommend for this review.

its average. I played with a controller and jugde it with that experience. gameplay is somewhat 'floaty', you don't feel grounded. sometimes trying to jump up ledges just refused to do what it should have. you can duel wield weapons when selecting weapons to equip, ammo was on the opposite side of the screen to the weapon you were using and changing was a bit of a pain. you can duel wield any weapon (including rocket launchers!) you get powers later, feels like a proto Destiny with blink and shields and energy bolts. asthetics in some parts are inspired to forrunner buildings in Halo. vehicles feel clunky. bosses are terrible onless you look up a guide.
