Before man climbed down from the trees to shop in megastores and drink cappuccino, before the Earth wadded itself into a cool blue ball, before the Moon even existed, there was the Island. The Island, a massive fragment of a long-lost planet, hurtling blindly through space. Upon the surface of this paradise wanders the giant, Kabuto. Little does Kabuto know that the Island was home to others before him. In the oceans, there dwells a matriarchal race called the Sea Reapers. In their pride, they created Kabuto, as a defense against intruders. But Kabuto became conscious of himself, his loneliness, his pain - and he went berserk. Space castaways, the Meccs piloted their ship through space, looking for their missing friends. If you haven’t guessed already, they ended up on the Island. Faced with yet another unscheduled layover while on their way to Planet Majorca, the Meccs decide to make the best of their temporary home. Just their luck - the natives are already embroiled in their own little war, and the Mecc visitors are most unwelcome! Meccaryns... Sea Reapers... Kabuto... One island isn’t big enough for the three of them.

Rated only for the campaign.

One of my childhood games, I've been searching for this for 2 decades. It has a simple yet entertaining story due to its humor. The world feels nostalgic with its vintage sunset beach aesthetic. It is quite unique with TPS/FPS combined with simplified RTS elements.

However, the game goes downhill after the sea reaper. The kabuto parts sucks and tedious. It feels rushed, no more variety in missions and no more funny dialogues except for the last cutscene.

I think I confused this game with Interplay's Sacrifice when logging titles the other day. Oops.

Needs a way to save manually. Bad omission for a PC game.

this game absolutely blew my mind back in the day
