Raid Over the River (working title) is the first of two titles from Nibris, the second planned for release at a later date on the Wii. Nibris promises to change the face of the vertical shooter, which has traditionally been a genre which is all about the speed of a player’s fingers. Raid Over the River will mix a blend of classic gameplay with innovative original ideas and an extensive story.
The game is set over a period spanning around 3000 years, across six dimensions, and places emphasis on the choices each character has to make, along with the consequences that result. It all begins in Peru where a group of archaeologists uncover an artefact of unknown origin. The artefact has time travelling powers and enables people to travel to the past or into the future in a different dimension.
The artefact gives birth to TARPA (Temporal Advanced Research Projects Agency), which is created to investigate the different dimensions and prevent any threats they may contain.
The player takes on the role of agent Carrie Collins, a pilot of an air strike quick response group of TARPA. When a tunnel opens on Earth, from which a group of scouts from another dimension emerge, the mission to protect the planet begins: complete missions, make alliances, and make choices that will influence the character and the future of each dimension.
The game is scheduled for release in the first half of 2007.
