EagleRoad: WorldRise

EagleRoad: WorldRise is an open-world 3D combat game set on an Earth devastated by an alien invasion. You play as Yichun, a nuclear power plant survivor who fights alien creatures, completes missions and works to save humanity. Combat and mission completion provide experience for leveling, while completing objectives unlocks new levels and resources can be collected to upgrade equipment.

The invasion

In 2999, alien hackers infiltrate a human space station and release a millennium worm that disables the intelligence and communication satellites under its control. Alien craft then crash into cities around the world. Their bio-metal hulls emit high-frequency pulses on impact, shutting down electronic devices, while alien soldiers and creatures emerge from the wreckage. The creatures can turn their bodies into weapons and tear through concrete.

Yichun survives the attack while working at an underground nuclear power plant. She discovers that the aliens depend on energy, including nuclear waste fuel, and gather near nuclear wastewater tanks to steal leaked fuel and reproduce. She aims to cut off their supply, beginning by dealing with the plant’s leaking wastewater tank. The invasion also has human collaborators: some politicians make agreements with the aliens, and Yichun seeks evidence of their deal and a way to expose it.

Missions and progression

You repeatedly explore alien facilities, destroy environments or eliminate guards, and complete objectives such as rescuing scientists or destroying facilities. Missions open new areas and levels, where you can face stronger enemies and take on greater challenges.

The five levels focus on these objectives:

• Nuclear power plant: eliminate infiltrating aliens, find the protective-cover switch, discharge nuclear wastewater and close the cover.
• Alien laboratories: infiltrate the labs, defeat the guards and rescue imprisoned scientists.
• Resource collection base: free enslaved humans and take control of the sites where aliens collect and refine energy.
• Earth Control Core Base: find the agreement between a politician and the aliens, defeat the guards and regain control of the Earth Control Center.
• Human space station: pilot a space shuttle from the Earth Control Center’s hangar, reach the station, defeat the alien hackers and repair the communication satellite.

Rescues and allies

Yichun’s missions also include infiltrating a hospital to rescue the kidnapped Doctor Blast [Bernaste] and obtain the anti-radiation medicine Nuclear Radiation Ning. In a street battle, she breaks into an alien freezer to rescue her boyfriend Aladdin, held frozen for experimental research. The broader resistance aims to free imprisoned doctors and scientists, liberate enslaved humans and drive the alien invaders from Earth.
