About

Death is always fair. It treats both the poor and the rich equally. This is the concept of the “Death Squad.” Players will control the “Death Squad” in the game, fighting to end the conflicts afflicting the world.

There are three forces in the game. The background of the story begins with the conflict between these three forces. Each force has its own ideas and goals that it strives for. In the game, following the story, players will control three main characters: Alex (half-human and half-robot), Salman (robot), and Li Ying (human). They will fight to end the world conflicts no matter the cost.

The game has a simple upgrading system. There are nine weapons and a variety of character attributes. Among them, three main weapons and all character attributes can be upgraded.

There are four types of scenes in the game: destroyed cities, quiet towns, deep canyons, and cities in the dark of the night. There are more than 12 types of enemies. Sensations, data, and behavior have been implemented into the game’s AI to give it human-like characteristics. Each enemy has unique attributes and detailed behavior.
