VergeWorld is an arcade game with elements of a shooter and a futuristic racing game. The project was developed by Bad Bones studio.
The game began life as a freeware experiment. The first version of VergeWorld was developed for the Sega Genesis console and Amiga computers. The project turned out to be so successful that it was decided to develop the ideas from it to the level of a full-scale commercial product.
Plot
The game takes us to the distant future on a harsh planet known as Gh2040-B. The player takes on the role of Nix - a member of the ruling class who rebels against the local feudal system of government, steals the experimental combat airship Icarus and escapes to the outskirts of civilization to join the Rebellion.
Game mechanics
In VergeWorld, we observe events from a camera positioned behind the airship. We speed along linear routes forward, avoiding obstacles and fighting numerous enemy units. We have the opportunity to fight in three different biomes.
The maps are randomly generated, which means that fresh challenges await us each time. In addition to standard skirmishes, from time to time we also have to face powerful bosses.
After completing each stage we go to border outposts, where we can refuel and buy upgrades for our machine, as well as mount additional weapons on it.
Game modes
The game offers a single-player mode only.
Technical aspects
VergeWorld strong point is the design. The game features attractive 3D graphics done in a retro style, inspired by games from the 32-bit PlayStation console and Amiga computers. A lot of 16-bit stylized music tracks add variety to the gameplay.
