Black Lion Studios has announced Shadow Harvest, a 3D tactical-action game in development for the PC and Xbox 360. The game is dual character shooter inspired by the elite US army special operations unit ISA (Intelligence Support Activity). Though the graphics are ultra realistic, the game isn’t meant to be a hardcore military sim. The action is built around of framework of interactive storytelling.
SHADOW HARVEST is set in the year 2025. The player takes control over two ISA agents (Myra Lee and Aron Alvarez) which are are deployed as elite black-ops agents on various current and future points of conflict around the globe to cooperatively complete covert operations. Both characters are very different from each other and also have very different special skills. To optimally achieve all mission goals, the player needs to combine Myra’s stealth skills, cleverness and athletic abilities with Aron’s blunt open battle approach.
I often find that when a game strives to straddle genres, it can end up falling short of pleasing fans of either genre. I hope that Shadow Harvest is able to appeal to both audiences.
