Although you will always be able to find new weapons, the more effective ones will be found on the more difficult of the game's 5 difficulties, which goes from Easy, Normal, Hard, Hardest to Inferno.

Aliens known as "Ravagers" are invading the Earth; it is your job to stop them. Take the opening cutscene for example:.

The game takes place all over Japan, but could easily be mistaken for any other metropolitan area. You'll find yourself sometimes in large cities, in ravines, underground and by the sea; but don't try exploring to far, for the game has an invisible barrier that will prevent excessive sightseeing.

While in the large metropolitan areas, you will have the capability of destroying any and every building around you; this becomes an effective method of killing foes who insist on climbing them.

The game has 5 difficulty levels ranging from easy to inferno. The game encourages playing on higher difficulties by rewarding players with more effective weapons the higher the difficulty they play on.

Additionally, players are only allowed to carry two weapons at a time, requiring players to choose their weapons appropriately depending on the mission. Weapon selection is extremely important because, unlike most modern games, the game does not let you change your weapons during a level.

James Birks. In these areas, you can lob grenades at opponents without worrying about counter-attacks due to the height difference between you and the enemy. There is also a special variety of grenade, called firecrackers, which do less damage per explosion, but split into dozens of smaller explosives to do damage over a larger radius. Grenade Launcher - This weapon allows you to launch grenades a much further distance than they could normally be thrown, making the grenade a much more useful weapon in more generalized situations.

This does sacrifice some of the ability to accurately place the grenade when it lands, however. Acid Gun - These special weapons fire sprays or spreads of acid, burning away at the alien's armor.

They act much like an equivalent assault rifle or shotgun, although they tend to have much less range, and their projectiles arc while flying through the air. Flame Thrower - These weapons have extremely short ranges, but deal out massive amounts of damage to anything they touch with their flames. These weapons are dangerous to use, since getting close enough to use them means that the enemy can deal damage back easily, but a short burst from a flame thrower can put out more damage than almost any weapon in the game.

Bombs - Bombs are an interesting weapon, favoring a more hit and run style of combat than the other weapons in the game. These weapons are placed around the level, with the activation button exploding them when you finally decide to blow the charges. This lets you set up ambushes for groups of aliens, enveloping them in huge explosions while you are at a safe distance, placing more surprises for the survivors.

Mines - Mines act much like bombs, except that they spread a large number of flechette rounds across an area when activated.

These are more useful for taking down groups of ants or spiders, while bombs are more useful for taking down Walking Arms or Dino-mechs. Turret - These weapons provide another interesting variation in play style and are one of the most useful weapons especially on higher difficulties.

Rather than directly attacking the enemy, you can place these guns on the ground, then activate them at will, starting them tracking enemies and firing. They have a limited ammo supply, and will explode when they run out, allowing you to place more of them. This is another ambush style weapon, letting you kill from afar with your own weapon while letting these do the grunt work.

All turrets have 20 second reloading time. This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:. Until you earn points all your submissions need to be vetted by other Giant Bomb users.
