About Area 51 (R3000)

Eliminate genetically altered soldiers and aliens throughout various facility sections, including a warehouse and underground tunnels. Shooting fellow STAAR team members costs one life point, and hitting three allies triggers the Kronn Hunter. Players must successfully penetrate the base to activate a nuclear self-destruct sequence while avoiding friendly fire.

Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
