Hollow Ground is a real time tactical third person shooter. You, and possibly a friend, watch the action from a top-view perspective, and control two of four mercenaries on their way down through the Epsilon Nine bunker.
On the way you will have to battle armies of mutated creatures while navigating your way through the labyrinthine tunnels.
You will find weapons to aid your quest, and credit chips for use in the shops that appear between levels. After the first floor, which is always the same, the levels you enter will be selected randomly.
The aim of the game is to reach the 40th floor, 2 feet below the surface, and destroy the breeding-machine dwelling there.
Here are some key features of "Hollow Ground":
16-bit antialiased color graphics at 800 x 600 resolution.
Persistent effects, corridors will litter with body parts, the environment is destructible! Follow the trail of mayhem to see where you have been.
Adrenaline-pumping original soundtrack. 15 original songs and the possibility to easily add your own tracks.
One- or two-player cooperative game. You and a friend can choose from four different characters with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Complex system of power-ups, cybernetic upgrades and psionic foci to optimize and enhance your characters. Each character has four different weapons with multiple power-up levels.
Hordes of mutated monsters with their own tactical advantage and weaknesses. Some monsters will paralyze you, others will perform suicide attacks.
More than 60 maps that are included in the standard package can easily be expanded with countless user-contributed custom maps through a simple drag-and-drop architechture.
Maps appear randomly, bu are arranged into depth layers, so that difficulty can increase both qualitatively and quantitatively as you progress further. You will need both wit and skill to actually beat the game!
Make your own maps with HollowEd, Hollow Ground's free and user-friendly map editor.
Gamepad support in both MacOS 9 and X versions. Works with most USB HID compatible game input devices.
Parents can turn off blood and gore (1.0.1 or later). The game is not suitable for kids with blood and gore turned on.
Try before you buy! The first two levels are for free in the unregistered (demo) version, after that you will have to register the game at the price of only $19 USD to get access to all 69 maps.
