Introduction to upcoming Orion - Dino Horde (PRELUDE UPDATE & VITAL GAME MODE) ORION: PRELUDE | VITAL GAME MODE (Due for release after the 24th of Aug 2014 Founders Packs) Imagine the ‘Survival' game mode. Except that instead of just 5 players fighting against waves of Dinosaurs and protecting their Power Generator you have *another* team of 5 players across the map doing the same thing. The ultimate objective being to eliminate the other teams Power Generator through either brute force or sheer strategy / genius. The inspiration was simple - I wanted a StarCraft-like experience but inside the ORION IP and FPS genre. This is it! You farm credits against waves of Dinosaurs and must spend them on upgrading your character / team or new gear and equipment. You also receive the support of Bots who help protect your base and defend your Generator. You must keep an eye on the enemy team to make sure they are not preparing an attack whether it’s through sending out one of your teammates to do Recon with a scope or by checking statistics like when or how much money they are spending. This mode (VITAL) takes place on the massive Open Worlds (Conquest maps) and continues to make use of Loot. This is PvPvE! You can either farm everything or take the risk and venture out to find loot crates for otherwise FREE weapons and money. Then head back to base and spend it at any of the four in-game shops: · Barracks (Augments) · Armory (Gear) · Garage (Vehicles) · Air Tower (VTOL) Are you going to?: · Fully augment up your team with increased Shields and Damage? · Equip everyone with Cloaking Devices and long-range sniper rifles? · Invest in a fleet of Cobra Tanks / VTOL’s for vehicle superiority? The ORION: Prelude Multiplayer Beta launches via Steam on Friday, August 15, 2014. All owners of a Steam copy of ORION: Dino Horde are invited to participate. Enjoy!
Direct from the creator @ Spiral Game Studios So what is the new VITAL game mode? The easiest way to explain it is: Imagine the 'Survival' game mode. Except that instead of just 5 players fighting against waves of Dinosaurs and protecting their Power Generator you have *another* team of 5 players across the map doing the same thing with the ultimate objective being to eliminate the other teams Power Generator through either brute force or sheer strategy and genius. The inspiration was simple - I wanted a StarCraft-like experinece but inside the ORION IP and FPS genre. This is it! You farm credits against waves of Dinosaurs and must spend them on upgrading your character / team or new gear and equipment. You must keep an eye on the enemy team to make sure they are not preparing an attack whether it's through sending out one of your teammates to do Recon with a scope or by checking statistics like when or how much money they are spending. This mode takes place on the massive Open Worlds (Conquest maps) and continues to make use of Loot. You can either farm everything or take the risk and venture out to find loot crates for otherwise FREE weapons and money to come back and spend it at any of the four in-game shops: · Barracks (Augments) · Armory (Gear) · Garage (Vehicles) · Air Tower (VTOL) Are you going to: · Fully augment up your team, doubling shields, melee , maxed energy and storm the enemy? · Equip everyone with cloaking devices and obtain long-range sniper rifles with upgraded damage? · Invest in a fleet of Cobra Tanks and VTOL airships for vehicle superiority? There are so many ways to mix it up and see what combo works best against another combination. We've even added a feature for that mode exclusively where you can increase the amount or difficulty of enemy waves / modify them for an extra layer of strategy. Not only can you build an army but you can send a Spinosaurus to them right before attacking. It's amazing.
