Devastation™ Now Shipping in North America
Next-generation Unreal Engine® powers new post-apocalyptic first-person
shooter for the PC, featuring incredible graphics, extremely interactive
environments and tons of action
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - March 25, 2003- ARUSH Entertainment and Groove Games
today announced that developer Digitalo's first person shooter Devastation™ is
shipping to North American retailers and will be on shelves this week at a MSRP
of $39.99. The game features 22 huge singleplayer missions and a whopping 14
levels for multiplayer, plus the ability to choose to play in either Arcade mode
or Simulation mode, each with varying degrees of difficulty. Developed with the
next-generation Unreal Engine® technology and enhanced with Digitalo's own OFX
particle system, Devastation pits a team of Resistance fighters against
overwhelming armies of corporate shock-troopers in a relentless battle through a
dark and desolate future Earth, trapped in a technological dark age. The
singleplayer game plays through an intense storyline where linear story-driven
missions dominate the first half, gearing players up for incredible dynamic
gameplay as the final missions become more open-ended combat with a true
team-centric focus. Online multiplayer game types include Deathmatch, Team
Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and a brand new team-based gamestyle called “Territories.”
The game also ships with a full-featured editor so fans can build and play in
their own maps with the most user-friendly interface ever developed. Devastation
also incorporates MathEngine's Karma™ physics system, allowing for incredible
ragdoll deaths and giving players the ability to interact with their
environment. Players can pick up objects and move them around to block pathways,
or throw items to cause distraction, or even make improvised weapons with lethal
force. “Devastation is a completely unbelievable experience,” said ARUSH
Entertainment president and CEO Jim Perkins. “From its incredibly realistic
graphics, to its unique physics that enable you to grab practically anything and
throw it at your enemies, you will feel like you are actually a member of the
Resistance fighting for your life in this dark, dangerous vision of the future.”
