LXer: Hostile Takeover: New Linux Game Inspired by X-Com and Fallout


Published at LXer:

Presented in a third-person isometric perspective, Hostile Takeover will be a throwback to classics like Fallout, X-COM and Syndicate. You will control your character in a real-time environment, sneaking around corporate buildings and avoiding security guards before dealing a final deadly blow to your target. As you progress through the game, new equipment will be purchasable for the money you make. Hostile Takeover is currently in development. It will be available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

X-Com, that reference alone is enough to make me have a look at it.

Pity that the base story makes no sense.

Quote:
Hostile Takeover takes place in a not-too-distant future devastated by a global economic crisis. In a desperate attempt to counteract this crisis, the world’s governments agreed to grant all large corporations immunity from prosecution. This was meant to free corporations from the oppressions of control and legislation but instead cast the global business world into deadly conflicts.
Granting corps immunity from prosecution? Besides being extreme neo-con brain-dead logic (blind freddy could see thats bound to cause problems), it sounds like virtually every 'cyberpunk' RPG ever made....
