Description

Traffic Department 2192 is a top-down shooter focused around an original sci-fi storyline and dialogues, combined with fierce action sequences.

You are Lt. Velasquez, a pilot in the Seche Traffic Department, an organization which now serves as the people's army in repelling the invading Vultures. Velasquez has a personal grudge against the Vultures because, when she was a small child, they destroyed her father's hoverskid as he was returning from a long mission. The game progresses through a complex storyline with many twists and turns with well-rounded action sequences in the middle.

The game comprises three distinct episodes.

• Episode Alpha : Process of Elimination
• Episode Beta : Cyborg Psychosis
• Episide Gamma : Ultimatum

Episode Alpha was initially released as shareware, though it was later released commercially, with the remaining episodes being available for purchase.

User Reviews

Probably no longer worth playing, but Velasquez makes it at least worth remembering.	Cavalary (10389)
Fun but sometimes frustrating	Weston Wedding (63)
Easily the best P Squared release yet.	Yosleeka (3)	unrated
A nonstandout with a really good storyline.	Tomer Gabel (4646)
