Falling Fire
2019: Chinese workers rise up and seize control of the government, making a giant nation that hates US corporations.
June 2021: Nuclear strikes in major cities (ICBM’s and SatMissiles), US/UN counter-strikes launched.
August 2021 – ??: Air, ground, helicopter forces ravage through the broken cities in nearly every country.
….
Now: the Chinese are striking your home city, and your own military is hunting down “mutants”, but you aren’t going down without a fight.
The City is not very large, it is a modern city with apartment buildings taking up quite a bit of space. The map is done, but it’s hidden (for now
)
The Buildings are intact only at the beginning of the game. You start at an apartment block and must file through buildings to get items and kill entering forces.
Items you find can either be used (i.e. smoking a cigarette) or combined into something else (i.e. cigarette launcher ahoy!).
There are weapons from the troops, but getting them is mostly useless.
These skills and items are the only ones you get initially, but you will get more as you progress.
