said a few days ago about the new game from Gameloft, NOVA, a Sci-Fi FPS that promises to be the next best thing in the gaming world. The game combines elements from the Halo and Metroid Prime series, the action taking place in a distant future when the world has been colonized by an alien civilization that is trying to exterminate it. The storyline focuses on former marine Karl Wardin who lives in a human colony somewhere far from Earth and who is called to duty to help humans remove the alien threat from Earth.
The action takes place along 10 levels, consisting of 5 different environments in which you will use an arsenal consisting of 6 different weapons that cover almost the entire range of weapons that a character can use in an FPS: pistol, shotgun sniper rifle, plasma gun, missile launcher, etc. Throughout the game you will have to defeat 2 bosses, one is a gigantic spider, the other is a surprise, but if you get to play you will have a lot of work to prove.
The damage of the game is similar to the one used in halo, the character is protected by an energy shield that recharges over time, and during the game you will acquire certain powers, such as the ability to freeze enemies, increased speed, etc. and by using them the energy in the shield will decrease, basically it's a system similar to the one in Crysis for example.
The game is quite interesting, but being an FPS, it is difficult to play on a touchscreen, and it will be available in the AppStore before the holidays. Now, some screens and a gameplay video:
