The year is 2712 and four mercenaries were sent to the planet Cemetery as a hostage rescue mission. Upon arrival, however, they find out that the call for help was only an excuse to lure them to the evidentiary grounds, where they will have to fight genetically modified creatures. In essence, it is a clone of the Dungeon Master, except that each character has their own window - their own view (instead of one window, there are four) of the game world and the game does not take place in a fantasy land, but in sci-fi enviroment. Each character can be controlled separately. Of interest was the environment in true 3D format and the artificial intelligence of monsters / enemies, which can move freely around each level. This is unlike other games of the time, in which enemies could not chase you up the stairs, for example. A variety of light and heavy weapons (including guard robots, similar to those seen in the special edition of Aliens), incendiary devices, mines and grenades can be used to eliminate enemies.
