The game brings your fears of being trapped in the vast expanse of outer space to life.
The Callisto Protocolis simply a sublime homage to the chilling brilliance thatDead Spaceportrays.
And now, we get to witness yet another spectacular display of survival horror withFort Solis.
Here’sFort SolisvsThe Callisto Protocol.
What is Fort Solis?
Fort Solisis an upcoming intense narrative thriller title developed collaboratively by Fallen Leaf Studio and Black Drakkar Games.
The game also stars the Scottish actress Julia Brown.
According to the developer, they aim to ensure the new title has an HBO-worthy storyline.
And they could be on the right path with this.
The Game’s director, James Tindale, said, It has to fit the storytelling of those shows.
Because if it’s not, they’re already getting it elsewhere.
That’s why you get the actors like Troy and Roger because they can do these extremely intense scenes.
You need these guys to sell the characters.
It all comes back to characters.
What gives the impression of a get-in-get-out job unravels into a long night on Martian land.
Something is awry in the desolate land.
What is The Callisto Protocol?
Launched in 2022,The Callisto Protocolis a survival horror game by Striking Distance Studios.
The game is a spiritual successor to theDead Spaceseries.
Moreover, the game was directed by the series co-creator.
The Callisto Protocoladds a layer of gore and horror toDead Space’spremise.
You play Jacob Lee, a wrongfully incarcerated prisoner at Black Iron Prison on the moon of Callisto.
Things in the prison get complicated and become chaotic.
The convicts become infected by a bizarre virus that turns them into monstrous creatures.
Gameplay
While there’s not much aboutFort Solis,the trailer reveals much of its gameplay.
To draw parallels between the two games, you play both of them from a third perspective.
That’s pretty much the only similarity we can draw at this point.
Melee combat proves invaluable when evading enemy gunfire.
It is also an over-emphasized strategy that’s uncommon.
You don’t see it every day in the survival horror genre.
During the first hours of the game, weapons are generally scarce.
Hence, you have to rely on melee.
Fret not; the monsters are akin to zombies, so you have a head start.
You just need to know how to leverage it.
Fortunately, the game provides injectable packs to restore your health.
From the horizon,Fort Solisis a promising game that doesn’t rely on fictitious events.
It portrays natural scenarios such as your helmet cracking in space, resulting in you running out of air.
I’m confident this ranks high among astronauts' fears while in space.
From the trailer, the game creates an eerie ambiance without introducing ostentatious characters.
That said,The Callisto Protocolis a solid game with an impeccable storyline complemented by its gameplay.
The game’s atmosphere depicts a supremely scary knacker’s yard.
Moreover, being a game I have played before, I must say the scales tip in its favor.
