Advent Rising is a third-person space-sci-fi action adventure that tells the story of Gideon White as he escorts human embassies to meet an alien race. The game is not demanding on hardware, it will be able to run on not the most powerful devices, and Unreal Engine 2.0 will give good detailing of the environment.
Upon contact with the Aurelians, one of the types of aliens, humanity learns that, according to the aliens, they look like deities. But, like all gods, they have enemies who want to get rid of all life on planet Earth as soon as possible. Such are the race of Hunters. The space station where the meeting between Aurelians and human representatives took place is attacked by a squad of Hunters. This is where the big conflict starts.
Arriving in an escape pod on the planet Edumea, Gideon is sent to help squads of marines in countering the Hunters. This is where the gameplay part of the passage begins. It is the destruction of huge hordes of enemies that will appear from everywhere.
First, extermination must be dealt with with the help of firearms. Somewhere in the middle of the passage, Gideon learns that he has superpowers and begins to develop them through training with a friendly alien race. In addition to fighting outnumbered opponents, there are short missions with jeep rides that dilute the action parts.
