PlotYou play as a member of a tribe called the Gaiars, a strong race who have battled with large bugs to survive. When your tribe is destroyed you are taken prisoner and turned into a slave. As you are discovered to be the last living human gaiar, you are forced to battle in the arena. In battle, a man recognizes you as the son of a friend, and together you plot the downfall of the Emperor that ordered the destruction of the Gaiars.
PremiseIn the physics based gameplay, the player swings large melee weapons and rely on centripetal force to give the object enough kinetic energy to destroy enemies. The initially released demo featured 6 main different types of weapons - four melee and two ranged. The different weapon types offer a certain variety. To be a slow, but well armored powerhouse using hammers or maces to deliver slow, but crushing blows, or a nimble, but poorly protected swordwielder, delivering quick, but weak attacks, is entirely up to the player. The game also contains a few different playmodes, such as a hunt on worms or a hammerball game.
Gameplay
The equipped weapon is connected to the player's hovering vehicle, and has physically realistic inertia. By moving the vehicle in circles, it is possible to swing the weapon in circles. Keeping the weapon spinning, getting it to solidly connect with your foes, and avoiding their own weapons and other threats represents one of the main the challenges of the game. Weapon type must also be taken into consideration, with blades more effective against armour, and heavier blunt weapons dealing higher damage to craft. Two weapons can be equipped simultaneously, and a player can experiment with different weights and types to find a pair of weapons that compliment each other, or the players playstyle.
