Synopsis

Combining aerial combat with traditional third-person shooting, SEGA’s Dark Void pits players against an alien race known only as the Watchers.

Taking the role of cargo pilot Will, players find themselves thrown through time and space into a parallel dimension oppressed by an all-powerful alien race. Joining forces with the remaining humans left alive, it’s up to Will to rise up against humanity’s alien tormenters and make his way home. Mixing the cover-based combat of shooters such as Gears of War with air-based dogfights, Dark Void gives players a real sense of freedom during each battle. Utilizing Will’s trusty jetpack attachment, players can dart across each level at incredible speeds, tearing through airborne assailants or shooting down distant enemies from afar.

Once safely on the ground, Dark Void adds its newfound sense of verticality into a more traditional third-person setup, allowing players to take cover as they attack enemies from above and below. Utilizing a number of context-based mini-games, players will be able to highjack UFOs mid-flight and mix both ground and airborne combat at will.

Dark Void takes the solid foundations of third-person shooters and adds healthy dose of vertical combat to proceedings, resulting in an action title with a far more creative combat edge.
