Our take on Outwars

The bounce point arrives when vertical movement and enemy pressure overlap: jet-pack fuel must be managed while Skulls can attack from above, flank, and ambush. Players who want predictable routes may hit that wall before weapon selection becomes the main concern.

What is Outwars?

Lead a team of space troopers against alien insect forces in planet-by-planet battles.

A jet pack allows movement through vertical areas, while hang gliding and running provide other ways to cross the terrain. Fuel management affects how long the jet pack remains available. The Skull enemies attack in packs, flank, ambush, and adapt to mistakes. Combat tactics and weapon choices change between close-quarters caves and broad vertical zones. Complete mission objectives while fighting through the alien assault. The arsenal includes flamethrowers, mines, heat-seeking swarm missiles, and frag grenades. Equipment selection takes place mission by mission as the soldier prepares for each encounter.
