Item Description

Hong Kong, 2065. The city is under siege by the Republic, a militant regime led by General Yan Lo, and Second Lieutenant Nathan Frost of the international Liberty Coalition has just been torn apart by an explosion on the front line. What comes off the operating table is something new: a soldier wired with experimental augmentations and sent straight back into the war as the Coalition's secret weapon. Crystal Dynamics takes that premise and builds an inventive, systems-driven first-person shooter around it.

Frost's augmentations are the heart of the game. Most start out dormant and come online as the campaign unfolds, so the toolkit keeps growing: you can cloak to slip past patrols, raise a ballistic shield, slow the action with a reflex boost and more. The Icepick hacking device lets you seize enemy cameras, turrets and robots and turn them on their owners, opening up clever alternatives to a straight gunfight. Every weapon has a secondary fire mode, from a swarm of hunter drones to a grenade that throws up a temporary energy wall for cover, and drivable vehicles break up the infantry combat. The result is a shooter where the same firefight can play out very differently depending on which tools you lean on.

Its origins explain a lot. Project: Snowblind began life as Deus Ex: Clan Wars, a planned third Deus Ex game developed with input from Ion Storm, before it was rebranded as its own property. That lineage shows in the emphasis on augmentations, hacking and player choice in combat, wrapped in the pace and spectacle of a console shooter rather than the slower rhythm of an RPG. Multiplayer was a big part of the package as well, designed for up to sixteen players across team-based and free-for-all modes.

Critics liked it a lot at release, with strong scores from IGN, GameSpot and Official Xbox Magazine, yet it slipped out of the conversation quickly and never got a sequel. That makes it a rewarding rediscovery today: a cyberpunk shooter with a vivid near-future Hong Kong setting, real ideas about how powers and gunplay should mix, and a direct line back to one of PC gaming's most influential series. It is also a fascinating look at Crystal Dynamics just before the studio took over Tomb Raider.

About the game

Experience the dramatic intensity of the frontlines of a war through the eyes of the first of a new breed of super soldiers in this gritty and epic first-person action game. An augmented super-soldier must stop a renegade regime from eradicating the civilized world. Hong Kong, 2065. 2nd Lt. Nathan Frost is just a regular grunt in an international army called the Liberty Coalition. When he takes massive injuries from an explosion on the battlefield, Frost undergoes an experimental procedure. The outcome of the surgery is something more than human; a transformation that makes him a unique weapons-grade warrior, with abilities that far surpass those of the average soldier. Empowered with these extra-normal abilities via implanted augmentations, Frost is immediately sent to the frontlines of a war as a secret weapon against the destructive regime. Stranded in hostile territory, cut off from command and far outnumbered, Frost and a handful of men must try and stop the entire renegade militia's plan threatening to plunge the world into darkness.
