Raid over the River (Nintendo DS) - Description

Raid Over the River offers six extensive campaigns taking place in different time dimensions: from ancient Greece, through Europe of WWII, Soviet Russia of the Cold War, present United States, to Germany of 2018 and Japan of unspecified future. In each of these campaigns we have a vehicle which fits the surroundings in which we are going to fight. In our quest we have a rich weaponry at hand - from core ammunition, sonic blasters to plasma cannons. Of course there are also going to be special attacks, such as help from the wingmen, intelligent missiles, particle blasters, gravity bombs, or laser attack from a satellite. A kind of novelty is a system of dodges thanks to which our vehicle is going to be much more manoeuvrable than it was in other games of that type. It is not only going to be moving in one dimension but also rotation, nose-diving, barrel-rolls - all of these will allow us to control precisely what we want our vehicle to do, and save us from being shot down by an enemy. Apart from that, nose-diving will be also useful during missions with precise bombings of ground objects. Additionally, each of the vehicles is going to be fitted with one special manoeuvre enabling it to dodge hostile fire or increase its fire-power. The innovative system of special attacks will take advantage of a touch screen and microphone offered by DS and the convenient and intuitive controlling system will make the piloting very natural after a few moments of play. Of course, the configuration of the buttons will be under full control of the player and the voice commands will be the optional method for launching special attacks.
