This is a third-person shooter in which players find themselves in an alternate dimension within the Bermuda Triangle. Players' objective is to stop an invading alien force (the "Watchers") from enslaving a village and taking over the world. Equipped with a futuristic jetpack, players explore various environments (jungles, mountains, mystical ruins), engage in UFO dogfights (i.e., aerial combat), and use lasers, pulse rifles, and machine guns to kill robotic enemies ("Grunts"). The combat—on-foot and mid-air—is frenetic, and often depicts machine gunfire and bright explosions. Players can also engage in hand-to-hand struggles that trigger "quick-time" events: brief animations depict players hitting robots with the butt of a gun, slamming enemies' heads to the floor, or snapping aliens' necks to finish them off. Throughout the game, a bright blue fluid emits from enemies' bodies when hit; this blue hydraulic-like substance also splatters on the screen and, on occasion, the ground. The expletives "b*tch," "bastard," and "hell" can sometimes be heard in the dialogue.
Description
Dark Void is a sci-fi action-adventure game that combines an adrenaline-fuelled blend of aerial and ground-pounding combat. Set in a parallel universe called The Void, players take on the role of Will, a pilot dropped into incredible circumstances within the mysterious Void. This unlikely hero soon finds himself swept into a desperate struggle for survival, joining forces with a rebel human group called The Survivors. Trapped in the Void, these resistance fighters are battling to hold off a mysterious alien race that plans to threaten Earth.
Dark Voids unique combination of jetpack-booster aerial dog fighting and third-person combat creates a thrilling new gameplay dynamic to the third-person shooter experience. Taking 3D action to a whole new level, Dark Voids unique vertical combat system allows players to dangle from thousand foot drops as they take cover and hurl enemies to their doom, bringing a whole new sense of tension and thrill to the player. Will is also equipped with a powerful rocket pack which allows for fierce in-air combat, hurtling through the Void at blistering speeds while shooting down anything that gets in his path.
