Billing itself as a mix of Quake and Diablo, Zax: Alien Hunter is an isometric perspective shooter that offers 22 related adventures set across hundreds of diverse and challenging game maps in seven different environments. The game is designed to combine the fast-paced, action-oriented elements of first-person action with the third-person intimacy of a role-playing adventure. The game's story is designed to support and accentuate, but not distract from, the kinetic gameplay.
The player takes the role of the title character, a loner who grew up poor and now seeks his fortune in the desolate and dangerous parts of deep space. Left on a seemingly deserted planet rich in valuable ore, the hero soon finds himself embroiled in a conflict between cruel alien captors and a slave race who now look to him as their savior. In addition to single-player missions, multiplayer games are also supported, offering deathmatch, capture the flag, and liberation's own "Savage King" competition modes.
