    THE MISSION

    “Sweating you find yourself rushing headlong through debris strewn streets, feet pounding on the pavement, as you sprint through the dim dawn light from an oppressive grey sky.

    You vault down a flight of stairs, as the shambling forms of your former friends pursue you tirelessly through this inner city wasteland; now reduced to nothing more than stumbling figures that gurgle and groan incoherently.

    You push your way through a set of double doors into a rundown dimly lit bar room, others like you have sought refuge in this dank drinking hole, their eye hollow as if burned out by the horrors they have witnessed.

    You look around the room desperate for aid, perhaps provisions to sustain you.

     

    Suddenly you hear a cheery voice from the blonde lady serving behind the bar ‘Would you like a pint love?’…”

    Star Saga alpha testing

    We're very excited about this. Mantic will be bringing members of the design team and offering the opportunity for Alpha testing of the new STAR SAGA game at HATE CON ZOM!

    Set in Mantic’s Warpath Universe, Star Saga: The Eiras Contract is a science fiction dungeon crawler for 1-5 players, with optional rules for solo play.

    Featuring strong story-telling elements and immersive game scenarios, Star Saga: The Eiras Contract will see players guide a team of mercenaries on a mission to retrieve stolen technology from a highly guarded research facility deep beneath the surface of the planet Eiras.

    In Star Saga you’ll take on platoons of minions and powerful alien bosses, and quickly discover there’s more to your mission than a simple case of corporate espionage. As the game unfolds you’ll be forced to make difficult decisions to stay alive as the story takes unexpected twists and turns.
