The game takes you into the world of John Rochord who is a miner and has to mine valuable minerals for his employer called Skyrig.

His luck suddenly turns for the better and he discovers a precious ore that changes his destiny forever. Greed and deception become the order of the day and Rochord and his team become pawns fighting bad guys hired by powerful corporations.

For those who played Shadow Complex you will find a lot of similarity and this will give you the insight to solve all the complex puzzles thrown your way. The adventure is full of surprises and there is plenty of excitement in the battles you encounter. Rochord has a number of weapons he can depend on, but the primary ones are the G-Lifter and the Rock Blaster. The first one grabs enemies faraway and the second one is a gun blazing no holds barred weapon making the terminator look like a Cinderella. John can scale great heights and move heavy objects not possible on Earth. All this makes for a great adventure game unmatched by anything you played before.
However, adventure games cannot be considered as role-playing games where action, 3D adventure, point management and team building is involved. It cannot be considered as side scroller action games like Rayman or Super Mario or it cannot be considered as puzzle games such as Tetris or Pandora’s Box. Adventures games are mainly based on puzzle solving that too within a narrative framework. Moreover, there are no or few action elements are involved. Some of the other genres of these games are point-and-click adventure and graphic adventure. While playing adventure games you need to explore depending upon the type of interface. The player needs to explore the world by following the correct directions. There are some adventure games where highest amount of exploration is required. Moreover, to play these types of games the player needs to walk around the objects available in order to find the hotspots. Sometimes the combat is too much and you will die easily and you'll wonder why the developers have placed so much fighting in the game when the puzzle solving is supposed to be the theme of the whole affair. The game lacks focus and could have really been a masterpiece if more seriousness was incorporated into the gameplay. The puzzles get more difficult to solve as you progress through the levels and many gamers will struggle to complete the game.
