The game features more than 30 missions of futuristic action with many secret levels, ships and weapons. Your prime directive is to kill all invading alien forces. However, whenever Earthlink Command wants you to complete a specific objective, you will be notified via a flashing communications icon. Your ship features a radar, cargo hold, weapon mounts, aiming reticule and the Suck-O-Matic. The Suck-O-Matic is an experimental device used to teleport and blow items in and out of your ship's cargo hold. It is an essential part for much of the game's objectives.

This game, also known as B-movie, is a game that had a concept that I loved, being a big sci-fi fan, however, the game is actually extremely difficult where you don't have enough health and such to get through, but, maybe I need to have purchased the "correct" upgrades, but I doubt that's an issue, but it's given me enough pause to atleast want to try one more time!

The story is that you play as one of many pilots flying a space ship (each one being different with strengths and weaknesses) to combat the aliens after an attempted first contact ends up with them revealing their true colours and conducting a mass invasion of Earth!

To unlock new weapons and ships, you need to collect items that the ships occasionally drop and scientists who are wondering around the map. Sadly, without a replayable option you can't grind for these items and some abilities are worth so much I doubt you will be able to get enough before either mission or even the "right" upgrades, if my suspicions are correct about abilities I've not chosen being a potential salvation and probably what you NEED to progress.
