Left Alive

Although the story has only one ending, the way it unfolds as a hole is non-linear. For example, depending on the player’s actions and decisions, non-player characters may react differently toward the protagonists – some may welcome them with open arms and eagerly share some useful advice, others remain indifferent to their mission.

Mechanics

Released for PC and PS4, Left Alive presents the events in the third-person view. The game is divided into missions, consisting of various objectives. Regardless of what challenge is currently ahead of you, the key element is combat. On the battlefield you can make use of both firearms and various gadgets – such as traps – created with an expansive crafting system. As for opponents that cross your way, apart from infantry soldiers, from time to time you face the so-called Wanzers, i.e. powerful mechs, iconic for the Front Mission series. There are also moments in the game, in which you can command such a machine and strike fear into the enemies’ hearts. All that is complemented by stealth elements. Because there is usually more than one path to each goal, the game offers high replayability – frontal attack is not always the best solution – sometimes it is wiser to take a longer, but safer path.

Technical aspects

Left Alive features 3D graphics characterized by its high quality – the game catches the player’s eye with carefully designed environments and detailed models of characters and the aforementioned Wanzers.
