About this game


ShantyTown is a single-player Half-Life 2 conversion made within a five month period. In this imagined future reality, the earth has been almost overtaken by a jungle of poisonous mushroom fungus, and humanity has taken refuge in towering vertical cities.

The story starts on the 10th floor of one of these towering cities. You control the heroine of the story, Ellie, a young inventor whose floating robot companion follows her wherever she goes. Ellie's house has come under a deluge of trash from the processing facility above her house. Your mission is to stop the trash from raining down upon Ellie's roof. Along the way, you will talk with city locals to find a way to save her home.

A squad-based modern military first person shooter, Sandstorm puts you in the center of the middle eastern conflict. As a United States Marine in charge of a convoy of supplies heading for the capitol city, you must do whatever it takes to ensure the troops get the supplies they need.

Equally determined are the insurgent forces, hell-bent on cutting off coalition forces from their supply chain. Armed with an array of lethal weaponry ranging from AK-47s to Rocket Propelled Grenades, and sporting a healthy disregard for human life, they will stop at nothing in their attempt to drive coalition forces out of the area. From the rugged mountain terrain to the sprawling urban cityscape, they will be ready and waiting to ambush you from every conceivable angle.

But the conflict is far from one sided. Working with a highly trained squad of marines, you have superior firepower, tactics, and support. Extensively trained to handle this sort of situation, you and your squad are ready to react at the first sign of trouble. You will prevail, no matter the cost. The coalition forces in the city depend on it. Developed on top of the award winning Call of Duty engine, Sandstorm spans three massive levels filled with visceral action and sequences inspired by real events. It delivers cinematic pacing and squad based game play in an approachable, pick-up-and-play first person shooter design.
