Heavy Duty


What do you get if you stick an RTS like Command & Conquer and a mech suit action game like Gundam in a blender? Shards of mangled tanks, battered armor suits, and pureed army units. Well, here's a game that mixes all the good things about RTS and action games in all the right proportions.

So. An evil dictator has amassed an army of alien villains from all over the universe and is bent on taking over your home planet. So what do you do? Fight back, of course. With an arsenal of 9 robots, around 50 weapons and 40 upgrades, Heavy Duty by Primal Software and Akella was first shown off at E3 last year and intrigued the audience.

The game is set in a world of chaos and desolation caused by an alien invasion and the title boasts of a world that is fully interactive, where explosions also leave marks on the world itself and players can zoom in and out of the action. These elements will be put into good use in the game's 30 single-player missions, and the multiplayer deathmatch and teamplay modes.

The real interesting thing about this game is that players can switch from playing RTS to action shooter and control a single unit and blast away. How cool is that?

Heavy Duty is set for release by the second quarter of 2007. Anyway, here's a few screens of what's to come.
