| Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space Coming Soon Shrapnel Games announced soon publishing Digital Eel's Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space. Currently slated to go gold in September, it will be available for the Windows operating system, and while insanely rich in gameplay it will only ask for a modest system to enjoy it upon. Every time you start a Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space session you'll encounter a totally new universe to explore! It's never the same game twice (although mathematically it may be possible, but highly improbable) as the universe, and all the worlds are created each game. And best of all you can thrill to your galactic adventures in less time than it takes to watch "The Trouble With Tribbles". A typical game session averages about ten minutes, with the high end timing out around thirty minutes. Of course if you really want to take on an entire Garthan flotilla armed with nothing more than a winning smile your playtime may be quite shorter... A ten minute space opera? Yes, indeed, and one full of everything you'd expect in a space opera. To wit: explore new worlds on the turn-based sector map and encounter aliens, events, and relics?battle seven kinds of aliens bent on your destruction in real- time, with an amazing array of ship types and weaponry?upgrade (or if you're some sort of masochistic weirdo, downgrade) your ship components through trade?witness supernovas, black holes, and other mysteries of the known universe including ghostly space hulks and eldritch artifacts. Wait, it even gets better! On top of the fact that you can play Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space over and over again and thrill to brand new adventures each and every time, all within the space of your lunch hour, gamers can continue to discover new adventures with the game's ease of moddability. Mod-makers will be thrilled to learn how easy it is to mod Weird Worlds, and even those gamers that have always been afraid to tackle modding will find Weird Worlds to be a very friendly experience. Because of this Infinite Space is truly infinite. Rich Carlson, co-designer of Weird Worlds has this to say: "If you're a fan of space adventure movies and TV programs (like the one with the pointy-eared science officer and the Scottish engineer), or if you just like to blow up stuff, Weird Worlds is definitely for you!" write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
