Tribes: Vengeance

Description

Tribes: Vengeance is the third game in the Tribes series and the first to feature a complete single player campaign. The story is told through the eyes of six different characters over two generations.

It all began when the Imperial palace was raided by the Phoenix Tribe - one of the many tribes that fight against each other, at the same time opposing the Empire. The young princess Victoria was abducted by them and got involved, against her will, in the continuous struggle between the Phoenix and the Blood Eagle tribes.

Twenty years later, Victoria's daughter Julia is determined to find the person who has killed her mother. Switching between time periods and characters, the player is able to see the story from multiple points of view and to unravel the tragedy piece by piece.

Similar to previous Tribes games, gameplay takes place over vast landscapes. Jetpacking is still an important part of the game and 'skiing', a method of movement favoured by fans of the series, has been incorporated into the games controls.

Multiplayer was a strong selling point of the Tribes series and has been updated for Vengeance. New vehicles, weapons and new game types are available out of the box for up to 32 players to compete with.

Trivia

The fictional Empire in the game has a lot of similarities with the Roman Empire: the characters have genuine Roman names (Tiberius, Victoria, Julia, etc.), the Empire holds "games", which are actually gladiator battles that attract millions of spectators, and so on. The Phoenix tribe doesn't have an obvious historical prototype, but it is interesting that most of its people (Daniel, Jericho, Esther, and others) have Jewish names. There are some subtler references to the prophet Daniel, with whom one of the game's heroes shares his name: a certain level in the game is called "Daniel, the Past: Judgment". The Biblical prophet Daniel was famous for his wise judgment; the name "Daniel" itself means "judgment of god". Those allusions only emphasize the tragic irony of the level's title.
