In the mid-24th century, a virus of unknown origin wiped through the Velian civilization. It affected only the women, twisting them into brutal killing machines. They modified their bodies, enhancing them with cybernetic and bio-engineered parts. The male population was enslaved, used for genetic experiments and food. The previously democratic society became a matriarchal ant-colony; a hive-mind focused on one thing only - Domination. All-out war erupted between the Velians and their former allies, the Federation of Earth.
The game begins seven years into the conflict. The Federation have gained ground, managing to push the Velians back to their home system. But when a number of colony ships go missing, apparently attacked by the Velians, the Federation sends in a military operation with the aim of wiping the aggressors out for good.
You play the part of a Federation soldier - Senior Sergeant Paul Armstrong - a regular grunt whose ship is attacked and who finds himself taking on the Velian mutations alone. Your mission: Destroy the enemy and save the missing colonists.
Operation: Matriarchy is a first-person-shooter that is set in the same universe as the Echelon games, though a knowledge of the series is not required. You will blast your way through 19 levels in a wide variety of locations, from a starbase to a swarming alien hive. The game features an arsenal of 14 hand weapons and two mech suits that you can climb into (with optional flight module). The enemies you will face are mainly female - or at least, they were once female. The story is developed through pre-mission briefing screens and in-game communications from Federation HQ.
This is a DirectX 9 game, using MADia's own 3D engine, developed specifically for this title.
