About ANDARA: RISE FOR REBELLION
Get immersed in a short but intense single-player campaign in this frenetic third-person shooter taking inspiration from arcade titles such as Returnal and DOOM.
Hailstone’s invasion, the plundering of its natural resources, and the killing of its natives has been the last straw for Andara. The cruelty of her father has reached an all-time high, alongside his command capacity, and Andara is the only one who can stop him this time around. It is time for the heiress of the Ethadian Empire to rise and fight against Ordon’s army, to reclaim what’s just. Fear, pain and death are prices worth-paying, if only to stop her tyrannical father once and for all.
The hyper-advanced technology that has helped the oppressors crush the people of Hailstone might just also be their downfall. As Andara, make use of your incredible powers and movement capabilities to breeze into combat, cast powerful blasts of energy, finish enemies and even slow down time.
Nobody said it was going to be easy. Each enemy will have their own behavior, strengths and weaknesses. Special soldiers like the Charger or the Deadeye will pose a formidable challenge, so fight them all as you’re supposed to - constantly moving, aiming for their weak spots and making full use of both your weapons and your whole repertoire of skills.
Ethadians are running out of natural resources. Their home planet will soon stop supporting their hyper-technological way of life. ‘If Ethadians wish to live, they are forced to conquer’, says supreme commander Ordon to his people. In his mind is Hailstone, a nearby planet where the mining resources are plentiful and the natives are a much less advanced society. ‘They won’t stand a chance’, Ordon anticipates.
He is right, of course.
Ethadians conquer Hailstone in a breeze. They subdue the natives, killing those who dare to resist and capturing the rest of them. Ordon and his troops set outposts and advanced mining stations all over the rocky planet. They build the huge Central Tower and set up the servers that control their cyber-implants inside it. Ordon’s thirst for expansion won’t end here – Hailstone will only be the first of many planets to be vanquished by the Ethadians.
Or is it?
Ordon finds opposition where he least expected it. How could Andara, her own daughter, rebel against him? It was a mistake to bring her with him, thinking that their broken relationship could be mended. Andara has escaped her designated outpost on Hailstone. Aided by G1TH, her companion AI, she is now close to destroying the last generator that shields the Central Tower. She is trained, cyber-implanted and – most importantly – ready to do almost anything to stop her father’s iniquitous plans.

Andara reminds me a little of ratchet and clank or jetforce gemini if you are looking for a deepcut. It's a cool concept piece and if it ever made it's way to a full game I would be keen to give it a shot...However as it sits now it is a buggy mess and half the achievements don't work. I have seen worse as a student project this comfortably sits in the middle 5/10
Clearly DOOM-inspired with none of the design or balance that makes fighting feel good.
too much colors,but good
Extremely jank in the shooting, platforming, and all things game play. The story is really good same with the lore. Sadly i am dropping it as it keeps glitching at the same enemy on level 2 not letting me kill him or progress. Giving it a positive rating for the story.
I really respect the effort but I think the devs here bit off more than they could chew. This is one of, if not the most ambitious student project game I've played featuring competent voice acting, an attempt to recreate AAA level combat from titles such as the 2016 Doom or Returnal, multiple enemy types with various abilities, an actual storyline, partial controller support, steam achievements, etc. Pretty much everything you could want except trading cards, and like all student projects it is entirely free. It is also ridiculously buggy and broken. The enemy AI is just A here, no intelligence to be found. Just spam attack, either stand still or move in a little set pattern, or in the case of a few of the more mobile enemies lock onto the player and don't stop moving towards them unless you end up in a place you get stuck and your limited intelligence breaks entirely. Not that it's entirely bad, the Charger enemy type is pretty B.S. and very prone to getting stuck somewhere so it balances out. There was actually one fight (the one where I'd had enough and quit) where that seemed to be the only way to win: find a spot where you're safe from enemies because they just get stuck. …
