This budget-minded package features three full games: Cold War, Aerial Strike: Low Altitude -- High Stakes, and Enigma: Rising Tide.
In Cold War, players take the role of a freelance journalist who has traveled to the Soviet Union to cover a routine story, who finds himself a political prisoner of the KGB -- stripped of all possessions and left in a jail cell to ponder an uncertain future. Using stealth tactics and a collection of improvised gadgets, the reporter-turned-hero must escape captivity or face a fast trip to Siberia (or worse). Missions play out in re-creations of famous locations such as Lenin's Mausoleum, Chernobyl, and the Ljubljanka prison. Cold War is designed to offer players a non-linear game world that challenges them to devise and execute their own solutions to interrelated puzzles.
Aerial Strike: Low Altitude -- High Stakes is an action-oriented flight combat sim putting players in the cockpit of the futuristic fighter ship Sagittarius, to defend Earth from a deadly threat. Controls are fast and forgiving, as one might expect from a high-tech craft, and players are encouraged to use the terrain to their advantage -- flying low through canyons to avoid detection, for example, or weaving through a jagged mountain range to shake an enemy pursuer. The game's main campaign is titled "The Yager Missions," and is designed to offer an onslaught of high speed, low altitude dog fighting challenges. Aerial Strike: Low Altitude -- High Stakes features a total of 22 levels, in which players will face a range of enemy vessels, from quick, elusive fighters to heavily armed, heavily fortified battle cruisers. Some missions may call on virtual pilots to temporarily exit the Sagittarius and take control of a strategically placed gun turret.
Enigma: Rising Tide offers an alternate history where three giant factions -- the United States, Imperial Germany, and the League of Free Nations -- fought for supremacy on and under the oceans of Earth. Players take command of deck guns, launch torpedoes, and drop depth charges in furious naval combat. Submarines, destroyers, merchantmen, corvettes, and other vessels are available during the team-oriented tactical combat. Players use voice-activated commands and encrypted communiqués throughout missions assigned according to strategic concerns. Enigma's ocean physics adjust depending on the changing weather conditions. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
