Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Mankind left Earth 80 years ago in order to build a life on the planet E.D.N. III. As the colony grew, humanity encountered the Akrids, a bug-like alien race that declared war on the humans for intruding on their territory. The humans didn't have any effective means to defend themselves and had to retreat from the planet. During the course of the retreat, a young man named Adam had his father killed by an Akrid named "Green Eye". Scientists soon discovered that the Akrids were a source of precious thermal energy, stored inside their bodies. This needed resource gave humanity an economical reason to fight back and the Vital Suit, a heavy weapon mech-like vehicle, was developed on Earth. Returning to E.D.N. III, Adam is among the many Vital Suit pilots and seeks to avenge his father's death. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is a third-person shooter. Controlling Adam, the player wages war on the Akrid armies. Adam's main objective is to destroy Akrid hives, and ultimately defeat "Green Eye", but there will be several objectives for him to complete along the way. Adam can hold two weapons and one type of grenade at the same time. In addition, he can find different Vital Suit upgrades to give himself new abilities. Since it's very cold on the planet, thermal energy is needed to survive and restore health. In order to get it, Adam can either activate Data Posts or destroy things that have thermal energy in them, like exploding barrels or enemy Akrids. The stored thermal energy slowly decreases over time and needs constant replenishing. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition also features a multiplayer mode where players can go online and play in four different game modes supporting up to 16 players. Besides the usual Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes, there is Post Grab, where players try to find and activate data posts on the map, and Fugitive, where one player must survive against all the others until the timer runs out.
