BlackSite: Area 51
About the Game
It was supposed to be a routine mission three years ago. Enter a bunker deep inside Iraq-territory, retrieve a chemical weapon and get out. But inside the complex was no chemical weapon. Instead you encounter mutated humans and other strange creatures.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The game is a pretty straight-forward first person shooter. You move through the levels, kill everything that moves and fulfil your objectives. But there are also marked points in the levels at which your squad will perform scripted tasks like a door breach. To increase morale you just need to do a good job or give your team mates a common target to shoot at. One player randomly starts as a Reborn and whenever a Reborn kills a human, the human will respawn as a Reborn.
