Description

As a freelance mercenary, you've been to some tough planets and had some tough jobs. In fact, one year ago your partner betrayed you and alerted the soldiers to take care of you. But you survived with the aid of another and worked hard to rebuild your credit supply. Now, a year after that incident, freelancer Bolt Logan has a new ship, new implants, a new partner and is looking for some new jobs. It's a good time too... since the corporations and individuals of the galaxy are all in a virtual goldrush looking for the rare terraforming compound, Chrome.

The game is a first person story shooter over various types of terrain and scenery. Missions are self contained, varied and the plot follows your progress between and during them. There are various weapons & vehicles for you to try out. Bolt Logan is equipped with armor, a motion detector and a selection of implants that will allow him to specialize towards the mission profile.

Trivia

This game features music only at storyline-specific moments, but if you're one of those players who NEEDS a soundtrack and doesn't have a stereo in the room, you can find "DF Players" in various levels. Each DF Player comes with one tune from a selection of adrenaline-pumping looping samples. The downside to using these is 1) The samples are quite short 2) They take up Inventory space 3) The enemies can hear you coming with all that music blasting away (come'on Logan... turn it down!)
