A very underrated video game.
Loosely based from Heart of Darkness.
The gameplay is sucks, but the briliant storytelling is enough to making you feel angered, or cry, or sometimes maybe you will pauses the game because of shocks.
Plus there's many amazing quotes + kick-ass soundtrack that fits perfectly with the game that will make you spend a lot of time to think.
After you've play this game maybe you will find yourself become more quiet +
introverted, keep remembering what you've done (and maybe even PTSD, if you're sensitive), searching the entire Internet to find the soundtrack + OST, then listen to those soundtrack nonstop, and maybe become a wiser person. Other war game stories are SUCK compared to this one.
95% of the people who playing this game are all above 18 years old.
Synopsis:
6 months before the game, Dubai is destroyed by sandstorm. Col. John Konrad, is
volunteering for help. But then Konrad were ordered to leave Dubai, but Konrad didn't follow orders, then gone dark as more sandstorms forming a storm wall that cuts out most
communications.
2 weeks before the game, there's a weak signal from Konrad, telling
everything is a complete failure and the death toll is too many. So, the Army then sent Cpt. Martin Walker to
investigate. Walker and his team actually ordered to get out of Dubai once they spot a survivor, but Walker forces his team to pushes on...
The rest, you have to see for yourself.
