Lost Planet 3 is a third person action shooter game developed by Spark Unlimited and published by Capcom. It is the prequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Lost Planet 2. Like the previous ones released, Lost Planet 3 takes place on the planet of E.D.N. III. The game has a story-driven campaign which follows the main character, Jim Peyton, on his journey to an unknown planet to survey the uncharted terrain as well as obtain samples of Thermal Energy, the planet’s energy supply. The game also talks about the colonial history of E.D.N. III and new truths about it. In terms of gameplay, Lost Planet 3 uses mission-based mechanics, and you can choose to take on main quests to progress the story, or go with side quests and help out other colonists on the planet. Similar to role-playing games, it also allows you to explore areas on the planet as well as interact with NPCs (non-playable characters) to obtain quests, or upgrade your equipment. You will also be able to face-off in on-foot battles with the indigenous inhabitants of the planet which are called the Akrid. The game also includes a number of multiplayer modes aside from the single player campaign.
