Our take on Codename: Terranova
The listing emphasizes varied missions and communication, but the practical experience depends on two people maintaining a voice connection while handling separate roles. One player explores and acts, while the other retrieves information and gives directions through the connected operator system.
What is Codename: Terranova?
Codename: Terranova is a two-player cooperative game split between a PC-based Agent and an Operator using a web app on a smart device or PC.
The Agent explores virtual environments, identifies objects and devices, and follows the Operator’s instructions. The Operator uses the Terranova Operating Central System to guide movement, retrieve information, monitor time, and communicate directions. Missions include exploration, puzzles, and sequences to discover, with environments and challenges intended to vary between playthroughs. Quick mode offers short sessions, while Campaign mode presents a series of missions with increasing difficulty and special challenges. Players must coordinate under a time limit, as hesitation or incorrect instructions can affect mission completion. One copy, a voice connection, and a second player are required.
