Our take on Alpha Prime
The focus on rapid firefights and a fixed 10-level campaign leaves less room for slow exploration, extensive character development, or open-ended replay structures.
What is Alpha Prime?
Alpha Prime is a fast-paced action game set at an abandoned mining base on the asteroid Alpha Prime.
Its 10 levels cover locations including a mining station, spaceship hangar, magnetic railway, and asteroid surface. Players confront Special Forces soldiers, robots, and deranged miners with eight futuristic weapons, including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and grenades. Non-playable characters assist during the mission, while vehicles provide transport between locations. Robots, surveillance cameras, security systems, and doors can be hacked and controlled. Bullet time temporarily slows the action during combat. The stated mission is to enter the base, rescue the miners, and escape. The game also supports a three-screen setup through Matrox TripleHead2Go.
