Description

Lodestone

Story Overview
Set on the remote mining planet of Lodestone, Colonial Marshal Warren Helward struggles to bring justice against marauding bandits, renegade bounty hunters, and the colony's own corrupt mayor.
Light years from civilization, Helward must rely on his wits, his guns, and a high-tech cybernetic implant allowing him to manipulate magnetic fields to throw metal objects, disarm enemies, and stop bullets.

Game Overview
The final game will feature a story-based single-player game mode as well as a team-based multiplayer mode. For this release, however, we have prepared a basic multiplayer mode with two teams: the Marshals and the Bandits. While both players will have the same access to weapons, each team will have a set of special moves.

For the Marshals, this will be the Magnetic Arm powers, allowing the player to pick up and throw metal objects at enemies, as well as create magnetic shockwaves, and shields which can "catch" and throw bullets back at enemies.

The Bandits will not have access to these powers, but will instead carry an inventory of deployable weapons including land mines, machine gun turrets, and rocket launcher turrets.
