Fire in the hole!

That's one ugly robot

Imagine, if you will, a future where mankind has broken free of Earth's confines, and ventured out into the far reaches of the galaxy. Terraforming worlds as they went, humans left a trail of habitable planets where before existed only barren wastelands. The air was now breathable. Unfortunately, this new, oxygenated air was breathable by another species: the Charva. Using human worlds as stepping stones across the river of space, the Charva are working their way towards Earth. Along the way, they snuff out the lives mankind worked so hard to create.

Take that, copper!

My kind of billboard

Expendable, released in Europe on May 7th, throws you alone in the way of the Charva. You are an "Expendable," a space marine bred for one purpose: to kill. You are brought in by ship, transported onto the planet's surface, and sent to destroy the aliens threatening mankind.

Nervous in the alley

Attacking inanimate objects

The game is a linear one or two player 3/4 overhead view shooter, somewhat like an overhead-view Contra in 3D. As you're a pure killing machine, this is a pure action game, reminiscent of a console / arcade game in this regard.
