【Alien x Earth Defense】 Switch between FPS and TPS! Annihilate the enemies plunging Earth into destruction in your preferred style! The packaged version of Battle of Rebels is now released!

Ready your gun and check ahead. ”Alright, enemy spotted... wait, is that a human?” It is precisely this kind of doubt becoming part of the battle that makes ”Battle of Rebels” so interesting. Set on an Earth on the brink of collapse due to an alien invasion and an unknown virus, this title is an intense shooter where you fight carrying the hope of humanity. If you start playing thinking it’s just a game where you shoot down hordes of zombies to advance, you’ll be pleasantly surprised in a good way. The enemies attacking you are not just those turned into living corpses by infection. The aliens with advanced scientific capabilities even create human clones and send them into the battlefield as human-like ”Human Aliens.” The eerie question, ”So, is the one in front of me real or fake?” shrouds the story, creating a sci-fi tension that goes beyond simple good versus evil.

Countries around the world step up their defenses, and humanity forms the ”Earth Allied Forces” to stem the invasion. While you might want to hope that ”with this many gathered, we'll manage somehow,” reality is cruel. Alien technology far surpasses human imagination; defense lines are breached one after another, and eventually even the Allied Forces are wiped out. Human Aliens exist all around, and on top of that, infected individuals attack. It’s a situation that makes you want to blurt out, ”Aren’t there way too many enemies?”, but this thorough sense of despair is precisely the unique charm of ”Battle of Rebels.” Combining a situation where you feel like you've become humanity's last hope with the exhilaration of pushing back overwhelming enemy forces with firepower, you can experience the feeling of stepping right onto the battlefield. Furthermore, you’ll be drawn into the structure of confirming the answer to whether ”humanity has a future left” yourself as you fight.

Perspective preferences vary in shooting games. Some people might say, ”I want to feel the sensation of holding a gun more,” while others might feel, ”I want to move around while checking my surroundings.” In this game, you can switch between first-person FPS and third-person TPS views, accommodating both preferences. Fighting styles such as heightening immersion with FPS during gunfights with enemies and checking the situation in TPS in open areas are possible. Since it is a game where you face massive hordes, this perspective switch is not just a matter of preference, but can also be utilized as a means to survive the tactical situation. Including developments where you panic and switch perspectives at the moment a swarm of enemies approaches, shouting ”Wait a minute, there are some behind me too!”, it is a system where you can enjoy the chaos of the battlefield itself.

The single-player campaign consists of 5 stages in total, and is not content that endlessly repeats gunfights alone. Variations in fighting styles are provided, such as piloting a tank to spectacularly scatter enemies, or using drones to perform reconnaissance and attacks. Furthermore, since you can choose your armament from a large number of weapons and firearms, there is also the fun of thinking, ”What should I bring in this situation?” Because there is a strategic nature where you don't just keep shooting with brute force, but adapt your equipment and actions according to the enemies and surrounding conditions, it leaves an impression where the momentum of action and the fun of considering tactics coexist nicely. The moment you break through a swarm of enemies with overwhelming firepower is naturally exhilarating, but the sense of achievement when overcoming a crisis in your own way also seems to be a reason why you'll want to keep playing this title.

Another point to note in ”Battle of Rebels” is the beautifully detailed graphics. The setting of the story is a world plunged into chaos by invasion and infection. Despite that, the grand locations have a beauty that makes you inadvertently want to look at them. To the extent that while thinking, ”This is no time to be admiring the scenery in a situation like this!”, you'll want to check your surroundings between battles. The fact that with its release in Japan, it can be enjoyed on the big screen and with comfortable control environments of home gaming consoles, also seems to heighten the sense of immersion into this world even further. Moreover, this title boasts a record of winning the top award at the ”Unreal Florida Game Competition” held in the United States. Packed with thrilling elements like aliens, zombies, clones, heavy weaponry, tanks, and drones, while leaving the mysteries of its sci-fi world firmly intact—if you are a shooting game fan who feels ”I just want to shoot extravagantly anyway. But, just that isn't enough,” wouldn't you want to dive into this desperate and beautiful battlefield?
