About

The energy shield that separated the human colonists from the Scay'Ger, an indigenous life-form, has shut-down and a virus has now mutated the Scay'Ger into savage and blood-thirsty monsters. As the commander of an elite squad of space marines, it is your job to halt the enemy attacks and evacuate the remaining colonists.

The battles are fought within the buildings of Scay Hallwa, the dark and brooding colony city, in both a turn-based tactical mode and a real-time 3D environment.
