Alien Removal Division is a fast-paced, action-packed first-person shooter, set in a military research facility during the 1950s. The base has been overrun by aliens and you find yourself, as the only survivor, at the center of the invasion. Your escape will be challenging, but you’ll have an array of weapons and movement abilities to help you during your fight and on your getaway.
ESCAPE
Use your parkour skillset to wall-run, double jump, and dash and make your way through the infested tunnels, missile silos, storage rooms, research labs, secret caves, and testing grounds that make up the military base.
ALIENS
You’ll encounter various enemies that vary from smaller insect-like crawlers to larger creatures, each with their own unique behavior and fighting tactics.
COMBAT
Engage in gory combat and discover the different options to destroy your enemies. Use your movement skills to stay agile against the aliens, fighting back using an arsenal of high-powered weapons that reward their unique purpose.
Weapons and Animations
The weapons their design and how the player interacts with them were key points in our development. To empower the player we created impactful and responsive weapons to truly invoke a sense of power.
The Assault Rifle - AR42
The Shotgun - RTJ12
Levels
With our game taking place in an underground research facility bunker we tried to create a space that visually represents that, whilst also allowing our players to move around combat and movement challenges freely using the high-mobility moveset that our fast-paced gameplay is built on.
(Using the sliders below the images you can see how our levels were iteratively developed.)
