GUARDS!

As one of GUARDS!' underfunded yet enthusiastic city watch officers charged with maintaining order within New Alested's crime-ridden streets, you will play as underfunded but enthusiastic city watch officers tasked with keeping crime under control in this first-person co-op shooter game for 1-4 players that places an emphasis on teamwork and quick reflexes as you navigate mean city neighborhoods. Cooperation is of utmost importance in the Guards! New Alested's criminal element doesn't hesitate to attack, so having teammates to coordinate an attack and provide cover fire are crucial in order to survive. Speed also plays an integral part of survival. As your enemies quickly attack, quick grabs may be required before they overpower you. Improvisation becomes your greatest ally here as everything from boxes and barrels to furniture or even your own body limbs can serve as weapons to subdue criminals and bring peace to society again.

Missions require more than simply dispensing justice with extreme brutality; missions also involve seizing contraband, arresting criminals alive, escorting VIPs out of town and planning and observation to keep things under control. Before storming enemy hideouts you should study patrol patterns, enemy numbers and potential environmental advantages as a guide; be ready for plans being interrupted during combat - which means thinking quickly on your feet to outmaneuver and outwit your foes quickly in an ever-evolving conflict situation!

New Alested is not ruled by one individual but by three conflicting factions: orc Vogtuff Boys are notorious for their violence while merchants in the Commission compete to become its master, while corpse Cult spreads influence through zombies. Once their leader is taken out, their entire gang falls apart. But reaching these leaders won't be easy: to gain their trust you must climb criminal ranks by gathering intelligence, eliminating underlings and storming their heavily protected lairs. Play New Alested offers an engaging mix of cooperation, action and improvisation as you work to restore order to an increasingly chaotic city on its brink of collapse. Just bear in mind that collateral damage should always be considered an occupational hazard!
