Read the full game description
Earth Under Siege: Flashpoint is a cooperative tactical dungeon crawler about black-operations teams resisting an alien occupation. Operatives infiltrate modular facilities, avoid patrols, hack systems, gather intelligence, sabotage objectives, and fight when stealth fails. Missions feed into a branching campaign of more than thirty scenarios, while headquarters upgrades, equipment, abilities, injuries, and story decisions shape the squad between deployments. Enemy awareness, alarm escalation, and changing objectives make positioning and timing as important as raw firepower. Assault Mode and special operations provide additional one-shot challenges outside the campaign.
