In fact, almost all the levels have various ways in which you can complete them. Furthermore there are several levels that are designed in a way that forces you to split your squad and use special tactics. They often have specific abilities like demolitions or electronics that are essential for the completion of missions. Terra Nova has simple controls and manages to reach a remarkable level of immersion.įor instance unlike other games, your squadmates aren't just back-up cannon fodder. This detracted from my enjoyment of those games as I was concentrating more on the controls than on the game. I personally found the Mechwarrior and Heavy Gear games to be too technical and fiddly especially without the use of a fancy joystick. It reaches a fine balance between action and simulation which no other game in the genre has been able to do. This is possibly the best mech-style game ever to be released.

Terranova: Strike Force Centauri - Common misspelling Similarly to Wing Commander III, the game features full-motion video sequences. Missions vary from attack and recon to rescue and defend, across three different planets in a variety of weather and terrain. You are pitted against enemies from pirates to tanks and mechs, even psycho clones and armed drones. You can choose from multiple types of suits (scout, regular, heavy), multiple types of weapons (everything from simple lasers to railguns to missile launchers), multiple assistance modules (from mine layer to auto-doc), and up to three squadmates that'll follow your orders. You control a power-suit with arm-mounted weapons: just aim (with mouse) and shoot, while moving completely independently (using the keyboard). Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri is a first-person sci-fi combat sim featuring realistic sci-fi weapons with true 3D terrain.

When the covert action turns overt and a full-out assault is mounted by the Hegemony upon Alpha Centauri, all that stands in the way is SFC.

But the pirates are, too, well-armed, and the Terran Hegemony may be involved. As Nikola ap Io, you'll be leading them into combat. Strike Force Centauri, the premier Strike Team on Alpha Centauri, was founded to combat pirates.
