Not only useful in combat, the OWL is imperative to defeat the game’s more challenging enemies, some of which wear energy-based armor that must be disrupted before they can take any damage. Options include a stun mode, a shock blast that stuns enemies and disrupts electronics an attack mode, in which the OWL attacks nearby enemies or targets a specific enemy a shield mode, which creates a one-way energy shield in front of you and a zipline mode, which allows you to quickly reach lower areas. Accompanying Kellen throughout most of the campaign, the OWL has several modes of operation that can be activated by swiping on the DualShock 4’s touch pad. Larger battlefields and a new OWL Drone offer more tactical freedom for players. I also have to tip my hat to the refined combat in Shadow Fall. I don’t know if they’re doing it on purpose, but Guerilla Games has a habit of creating the most unlikeable protagonists. Killzone fans are familiar with how the Helghast leaders have been portrayed throughout the series, but it’s Kellen’s boss and mentor, Thomas Sinclair – director of the Shadow Marshals and head of the VSA – who attempts to wrestle The Biggest Douche in the Universe award away from the reigning champion Rico. As the narrative progresses and you get to witness the remnants of the Cold War from both sides, a moral gray area begins to grow as the game hammers home the question, “Who are the bad guys?” But I have a better question, “Who are the good guys?” I’m starting to wonder if the regular citizens – Vektan and Helghast alike – might actually co-exist peacefully if it weren’t for their political and military leaders, all of whom are complete assholes. I applaud Guerilla Games for taking a more mature approach to the story – that of a political thriller. Hilary Massar and the bio-weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. The VSA fear that the head scientist behind the project may be trying to defect, and thus begins the race to locate Dr.
KILLZONE SHADOW FALL MULTIPLAYER 2020 SERIES
During a series of covert operations, Kellen learns that the ISA has been researching and testing a bio-weapon capable of rendering the Helghast extinct. In Shadow Fall, you play as Lucas Kellen, a Shadow Marshal for the Vektan Security Agency (VSA). In fact, I’d argue the Vektans are equally villainous, but that’s a debate for another day. Despite the depiction of the Helghast as “Space Nazis” – their glowing red eyes a clear indicator of their evil nature – the Vektans are by no means saints themselves.
I’ve always been intrigued by the lore of the Killzone series. A massive fortification called “The Wall” separates the two deeply conflicted cultures, but you knew it was only a matter of time before the resentment over the previous war boiled over into a new conflict, this one in the form of a Cold War. A dubious agreement with the ISA has allowed the remaining Helghast survivors to take refuge on the planet Vekta – well, half the planet anyway. It’s been 30 years since the planet Helghan was rendered inhabitable by the Petrusite detonation now known as “the Terracide”.
