Planet Protection Power: The Arizona Chapter

Story Overview

Dude woke up in an alternative timeline after drawing his last breath.

You've been given a task by a POSTAL Babe deity, help in saving this timeline's Earth, otherwise she can't save your soul, and it will disappear into the aether.

Earth is being invaded by aliens, UFOs started showing up all over the world, and worst of all: They kidnap civilians, turning them into zombies, relentless, tireless monsters.

"Only my weapon understands me."

Your arsenal consists of about a dozen different weapons of different types and calibers.

Ranging from guns with extremely high spread, a large ammo pool but low damage to slow-firing, high-damage but low-capacity guns.

Want to blow up something? You have the choice between launchers which fire multiple projectiles per shot or just one.

Call-Ins

As mentioned in the "Inspiration" section of the Credits, this game took some inspiration from Helldivers 2.

Call in a Precision Strike, a B-F-Bomb or a Gatling Sentry. You can choose up to four different Call-Ins.

4 missions, 4 different objectives, 4 difficulty settings

Wanna have a linear, scripted experience?
Wanna grind a little during a 3-wave survival objective?
Wanna take down some UFOs and blow up a bridge?
Wanna activate some Surface-to-Air-Missile Sites and watch UFOs crumble?

There is a level for each of these.

And on top of that: Each mission has some differences depending on which difficulty you play them with.
Choose between: Easy, Medium, Hard and POSTAL.
Each Zombie gets their damage and speed tweaked while the aliens get a faster rate of fire, each difficulty level also decides which enemy types will be spawned on each mission.
