Inversion

First comes the alien invasion. Then comes loss and imprisonment. And then it’s…zero G? Namco bends gravity — and expectations — with Inversion, a brand-new shooter that turns the genre on its head.

Everything in Inversion begins with one big bang. An alien force violently seizes control of your city, forcibly moving citizens to internment camps. In all the ruckus, your wife is murdered and your daughter is stolen from you. Then you wake up and realize you’re now just another cog in the prison-camp wheel. But you’re about to break out — and you’re not alone. You have support. But the minute you step outside camp walls, you discover that your world is…different. And it’s this “difference” that gives Inversion its name.

When Aliens Attack

At the heart of the game lies a mystery that kept tugging at us: Who are these “aliens” and what are they doing to Earth? They look human — if all of us were tattooed linebackers, that is — but there’s something off about them. They use what looks like standard weaponry, but these guns do things that terrestrial firearms can’t. And ever since they invaded your city, the world has reacted in very strange ways.

And this is your starting point. When Inversion begins, you know as much as your character, 28-year-old cop Davis Russell, does — i.e., not much. Lucky for you, he’s got the firearm skills to pay back some wife-murdering bills with the Lutadores, as the invaders are known. You also have back-up in the form of Leo Delgado, Davis’ former neighbor who also lost loved ones in the initial attack and was instrumental in helping you break out of the internment camp.
