Summary
Phoenix is a dynamic single or multi-player space combat game, set in middle of the next millennium. In the single player game, the player takes the role of Beck, a police officer wracked with the guilt of his partner’s death.
Through the actions of the player, and their degree of success within the massively varied missions, (over 60 in all), it will be possible to take several different routes through the game, using a wide range of different ships and weapons. (On each play through approximately one third of the game will be seen). The mood of the single player game will be one of anxiety and dread, reminiscent of the ‘films noir’ of the 1940’s, the stream of events will seem to be out of the control of the player, escalating towards a tense conclusion.
