The first of the new Ally Line (games developed in conjunction with overseas game companies) is coming from Stronghold Games. In Panic Station, a team of heavily armed troopers enter a desolate army base to destroy a parasitic alien being.
From Stronghold:
Panic Station is a paranoia-driven semi-cooperative game in which you control two characters in the Extermination Corps sent out by the government to investigate the presence of fiendish alien life forms.
However, one of the players will become a Host. He must keep this identity secret, infecting as many team members as possible to gain allies and prevent the humans from completing their mission. Only players who carefully watch the behavior of team members will stand a chance against the infected players and roaming parasites.
Panic Station is a game of growing paranoia in which no one can truly trust anyone. Can you maintain your sanity and destroy the source of this evil?
Look for Elliott’s review of Panic Station in the very near future!
