After an interstellar object shatters across Earth, a contaminant called Crystalline transforms living things and spreads across the planet. You play as an operative on an elite team sent to fight the threat.
The campaign is a first-person shooter built around combat missions against alien enemies. Missions include objectives, holdout encounters, and boss fights.
Operatives have distinct abilities and weapon sets. Reviews describe each character as having a fixed secondary weapon and a choice of primary weapons as the campaign moves through its missions.
Players who enjoy the current campaign mention its satisfying gunplay and action-focused missions. Many reviews, however, focus on the loss of co-op, PvP, and extraction modes that they enjoyed in earlier versions; some also describe the current campaign as short, repetitive, or unfinished.
Welcome to Shatterline - ground zero for the apocalypse.
Shatterline is a fierce, intense single-player FPS. Immerse yourself in a world of explosive action; smooth, satisfying gunplay; and a striking landscape full of rewards and deadly opponents.
A mysterious interstellar object has exploded near Earth, sending massive, jagged shards smashing into our planet’s surface, turning thriving cities into toxic craters and leaving millions dead.
From this destruction, a new horror has risen: an alien contaminant called “Crystalline” that tears apart geomagnetic fields and transforms living flesh to razor-edged silica. And it’s spreading.
You enter the game as a skilled Operative, part of an elite team chosen to fight this menace. Choose from unique and powerful characters, including a lethal sniper, armored juggernaut, experimental warfare specialist, fearless medic, and more.
Your mission: to eliminate the Crystalline and save what’s left of humanity.
