Aeterius: Contact Wars
You somehow manage to wake up to a throbbing headache.
Still, there’s only darkness ...
You can barely open your eyes as you feel someone fiddling with your handcuffs. A whispering voice follows:
“Hurry up! They should be back any minute now!”
“What ... What happened? What is this place?!”
“There’s no time... You have to warn the others! Aeterius is under siege and they won’t stop here. Just GO!”
“But... but ...”
“There’s no time! Just GO!”
You crawl towards the nearest exit and spot the alien hangar. You grab hold of the first battlecruiser you lay your eyes on, and quickly get out of what appears to be a huge alien mothership...
... and you are already being followed!
"Aeterius: Contact Wars" is a fast-paced action game for iPhone™ and iPod touch™.
You are an escaped prisoner aboard a small vessel returning to your home planet to warn your kind about the imminent attacks of a mysterious alien race. You will advance through 5 universe zones each with its own set of battle arenas and special missions totaling a blazing 45 unique levels to play. As you advance through the game, you have the ability to upgrade your ship's skills (weight, speed & strength) and with the aid of the special abilities and enhancements gained by completing each zone's special missions, you will be able to confront the ever tougher enemies you encounter.
