'Atrox' Set For UK Launch - Game Overview

by Rainier on April 12, 2002 @ 5:09 p.m. PDT

In 2334 AD, a descendent of Albert Einstein attempted to separate the good and evil present in humans into two different types of cells - the Black and White angels. The Black angels gave rise to special human cyborgs called CREATESE, while the White angels gave rise to the INTELION. Now the CREATESE, INTELION and the last Humans (HOMINIAN) on earth have to fight it out for their own land in the Real Time Strategy Simulation Game, ATROX.

Choose your race INTELION, CREATESE or HOMINIAN and battle to save the earth and your race in Single, Custom or Multi-Player in Melee, Fusion, Survival or Fusion Survival Mode. (See Notes)

Features Include:

  • Multi-play support for up to 8 players through IPX or TCP/IP.
  • Use of battle formations.
  • Human technological interface.
  • Game-Play recording.
  • Character level-up system.
  • Game play support on PC minimum requirements.

Race Overviews:

  • HOMINIANS
    The last humans on Earth, their biggest weapon is a mineral that can block out the Createse computer threat and the use of a teleport structure, which can take them from base to base. They have 4 planet bases where labs are used to study weapons and amours to improve battle force.
  • INTELLIONS
    Descendents of the original white angel, their biggest strengths are the fact they are all born with super natural powers. They have the ability to teleport themselves and have found great communication power with the use of a blue light from the mineral Kelosoid. The Intellions biggest weakness is that they have been known to fight amongst themselves and to stop this happening computer chips have been inserted in their brains.
  • CREATESE
    Descendents of the original Black Angel, they evolve quickly from organisms and reproduce rapidly. This is done by networking the exchange of genetic material via Calperie – a type of plant. They are mostly to be found in the form of a cockroach or mantis. Their biggest weakness is the fact that they melt when exposed to sunlight but Nelios; a form of mineral can protect them.

MISSIONS:

  • Single Player: Single Player story based missions.
  • Custom: Play a stand-alone game against up to 7 computer players.
  • Multiplayer: Up to 8 people with IPX or TCP/IP connection.

MULTIPLAYER GAME MODES:

  • Melee Mode:
    Multiplayer game type, where 1 on 1 and team play is allowed.
  • Fusion Mode:
    The basic game method is the same as in melee. However, the construction units for all three races are given to each player. The maximum supply points for each player is the same as in the basic game, i.e. 250. Since the supply resources can’t be shared between races, the different supply buildings for each race will have to be built.
  • Survival:
    Every player fights against every other player. No teams are allowed here.
  • Fusion Survival:
    The basic game method is the same as in survival mode but the construction units for all three races are given to each player. The unit limit for each player is the same as in the basic game (i.e. 250). Since the supply resources can’t be shared between races, the different supply buildings for each race will have to be built.
