Terminus is a space combat role-playing game. The game takes place a few hundred years from now, when mankind has colonized the Solar system. Mankind is still not united, with various factions around the colonized planets competing for resources and political power. Players can choose from various characters, all of whom control a spaceship with which to explore the Solar system, and interact with numerous non-player characters on various missions. The Terminus demo contains an abbreviated look at the Flight Academy, where even seasoned flight jockeys gain experience flying spacecraft guided by the laws of Zero-G Newtonian physics. In addition, the demo includes a Gauntlet which lets pilots of all skill levels fight wave after wave of enemy ships and enjoy the shoot-to-destroy excitement of all-out space combat. The demo also includes a single story mission in which players can choose between being a fighter pilot for Earth or Mars. |
