Left Alive looks more Alpha Protocol than Metal Gear

LEFT ALIVE™

LEFT ALIVE™ is a brand-new survival action shooter telling a human story of survival from the perspective of three different protagonists during the devastating invasion set in war-torn Novo Slava in 2127.

Despite being set in the same universe as Square Enix’s old Front Mission strategy series, Left Alive is ostensibly more of a Metal Gear-styled stealth game with the occasional mech fight. At least, that’s the plan, but for better or worse, today’s fourteen minutes of new footage reminds me most of Alpha Protocol, Obsidian’s endearingly janky spy RPG. See what you make of its slightly offbeat blend of stealth, branching dialogues, equipment crafting and even a little bit of mech combat in the video below. The game launches on March 5th, just ten days from now.
