Players collect Points<\/strong> by killing enemies which they can use to repair objects and access better weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although many games of this style have been successful with a first person camera perspective. The Camera Point of View in this game will be a tight third person perspective. However, The camera will not show the entire character model.
