Mass Effect is an amazing cosmic universe in which players are told an unusual story of the confrontation between people and aliens, space invaders. Over the course of 3 major game projects, the heroes of this game faced dangers, fought the most unusual enemies, and tried to achieve a positive result in any of their missions. A lot of creative work has been created on this Universe, several books have been written, and a full-length film is planned in the future. But there is another project that is associated with this virtual world, but passed without an advertising boom, and only fans of the game know about it. This is a mobile application called Mass Effect Infiltrator, in which you take on the role of a mercenary and learn the story of what happened at the Cerberus station shortly before the events of the third part of the project.
What is this game?
If you look at all the parts of the trilogy and compare them with this game, they will seem like completely different projects. In Mass Effect, we play as Captain Shepard and save the planets, and here we act as an unknown mercenary who used to be a criminal and did evil, but now he has decided to atone for his sins. The events of the game Mass Effect Infiltrator will move us to the Cerberus station, which was the key in the events of the second part of the trilogy. One mercenary decides to completely recover and arranges for the escape of prisoners. Yes, it seems to be not such a bright matter. True, prisoners in the future should have been sent to various investigations, after which no one has yet returned. And now, together with them, the main character will try to leave the colony and try to stay alive.
What do we have to do?
Mass Effect Infiltrator is a third-person action game. Yes, there is no pumping, no long dialogues. The game will constantly require action from you. The universal guards of the colony, who are not only strong, but also very smart, will become your enemies. Will have to try pretty hard to defeat them. In addition, during the development of events you have to manage the equipment and a small detachment of prisoners, in general, the game will be where to roam. And do not act thoughtlessly, your enemies are far from stupid and will in every way confront you.
Part of the Mass Effect trilogy
Whatever side you look at, but Mass Effect Infiltrator is part of a space adventure trilogy. Yes, here is another protagonist, the events are focused on a completely different object, and the goal is not so global, but you should not promise so much. The most attentive fans are well aware of what the main character decided to change, what consequences began to occur after the prisoners escaped and what role this event played in the future development of the plot of the main game. Before rushing into discussions, it is worth personally familiarizing yourself in detail with the entire plot chain of this Universe in order to clearly understand each step made by the main character.
Completely different side
The game Mass Effect is known for having an atmosphere of constant hope and faith in the best. Characters are constantly selected from the most difficult situations, make new plans and manage to find a common language. But in the Infiltrator the situation is completely different, there is an agony of despair, a lack of faith, around darkness and a ruthless world. The main character is constantly thinking about death, he understands that the plan is impossible, but does his job. The prisoners are fleeing in panic, they are hungry for life, they do not care what gets in their way. Despair, madness and complete darkness - this is what the game is saturated with. Even Mass Effect 3, with all its moral litigation, lack of hope, cannot surpass this project. Shepard, no matter how gloomy he may never be able to get around Randall Ezno, who for many decades led thousands of people and aliens to a painful death. And now every fan of history will be able to replenish their baggage of knowledge about the Universe. Finally, they will tell us about those terrible events in which Cerberus is involved. It's time to find out the whole truth.
Will there be a sequel?
No matter how much we want it, no matter how many fans ask, the creation will not continue. Either the developers lost their inspiration, or all the efforts were devoted to the development of the fourth part of the game Mass Effect. But this project has one interesting feature, and it is associated with conservation. In the Mass Effect trilogy, conservation played a key role, as it created the basis for the continuation of the story, taking into account all the decisions and events that the player himself became the epicenter of. Then, according to these data, the storyline of further parts of the game was built. Infiltrator also has this function, however, it suits the basis for events exclusively for the third part of the trilogy, and it is worth noting that not all plot moments will be changed. Thanks to your actions in the Cerberus colony, you can get the opportunity to further call on new allies to your side, as well as get valuable information that should not be lost at all. Therefore, in order to repulse the attack of the aggressive masters of outer space with great success, it is better to first get reliable reinforcements. Further development of the plot is in your hands, act carefully and calculate the result of your actions.
