The new techniques provide the gamer with rising tension in a full
scale city war. The beautiful fantasy architecture and other elements
which colour this mod brings the player right into the Iron Grip
conflict. The small cooperative aspects of the FPS team intensify the
need for teamwork to an ultimate level.
Iron Grip : The Oppression is not just meant to provide new
gameplay. It also gives players a small taste of what the developing
Iron Grip universe is like.
With new types of weaponry and combat, this should give an unforgettable experience.
Gameplay
In Iron Grip : The Oppression there are 2 teams. One is the Resistance, and the other is the Rahmos.
Rahmos contains of one main player. This player is the General of
the local Rahmos forces. He starts in his HQ and commands his armies
via an RTS interface. He can construct infantry and vehicles to attack
the Resistance and capture their key locations. If the Resistance team
grows in size, another player can join the Rahmos side. This player
also plays an RTS. However he can only command the troops which have
been assigned to him by the general.
Rahmos has 1 General Unit which it needs to protect in order to survive.
This unit can be taken over in FPS mode by the Rahmos RTS player.
The Resistance side play a pure FPS. Instead of spawning as regular
troops, the Resistance players can choose a character, which they can
develope throughout the game. This character is unique in weaponry as
in appearance and skills and therefore can only be selected by one
player. The Resistance forces earn skill points throughout the round.
With these skill points they can buy new skills or revive their Hero
once killed.
Their mission is to hunt down and kill the Rahmos General Unit, so anarchy will force the Rahmos City Legions to withdraw.
Rahmos on the other hand has 3 random Resistance Key Locations to
secure. These are spread randomly throughout the map. If all 3 are
secured by the City Legions Rahmos wins the round.
It is an exciting new cat and mouse gameplay in which the Rahmos
forces outnumber the Resistance. The Rahmos vehicles are also something
which the Resistance must fear. While Rahmos commands the streets, the
Resistance must play smart, hide in the buildings, and work together.
Don't underestimate Rahmos. Other than their large numbers they have
numerous tricks up their sleeve. Guerrilla warfare is now fought...
