Dark Horizons: Lore Invasion - FREE!!!!!

DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE SOON.

Invasion was originally release in April of 2004 and ran through November 2008, since then we have been emailed and read many forum post asking us to release the games free version.  Proudly we announce the release of the free version here at PlayMech.com.

The game has been modified to allow logging into the multi-player server and enjoy the fun and fast paced game.  To make it free we removed the score tracking and faction wars capabilities, since Max Gaming no longer provides support for the game the cost to run the persistent stat tracking didn't make sense.

With that said, the game is fully functional and includes all the community contributed changes provided mainly by Slingshot and his group of modders at smellybass.  We are also including several never before seen missions.

We hope you enjoy the game and the community content.

DH: Lore Invasion puts the player into the very mind of the most lethal war machines ever to engage combat in the war-torn Earth of 2155. Connected by a remote neural link, you control your Mechanized Assault Vehicle (MAV) in a squad of allied warriors while seeking to claim soil for the faction to which you've pledged your allegiance. Can you lead your people to peace in a harsh universe where reflexes and nerves of steel are the touchstones of victory? Or will your enemy overpower you with superior resolve and unrelenting firepower? How will you write the Lore of the future?

History will remember your era as the turning point; after 150 years of uneasy peace, the stalemate has been broken and the Earth has once again plunged into a war that will decide the future of "No Man's Land"... once known as "North America". As the Federated States and Eastern Confederation clash once more, it will be you who enters the fray at its most intense and will lead your people to victory or oblivion. The year is 2155 and the war which will decide the fate of mankind is beginning, and your courage will write the lore of the future on the soil of battle.

This battle-zone is not the Earth as you remember it: Intense radiation makes it impossible for living things to set foot on the dried, crusted surface. Instead, factions deploy cybernetically-controlled Mechanized Assault Vehicles (MAVs) which can operate quickly and lethally while being linked to the very minds of the soldiers who control them from thousands of miles away. These vehicles of battle are so closely woven into the minds of their masters that every neural impulse is instantaneously transmitted to and from the warriors. They are one, the mind and the machine.

Some choose to fight for the technologically-advanced culture of the Federated States who inculcate justice for all and believe in the power of a balanced society. Others choose the way of the fist and adopt the savage warrior's path that belongs to the Eastern Confederation where might makes right. As a MAV Warrior you will have to pull the trigger with no more than a split second of warning, but for whom will you fire your weapons and aim your cannons? Choose your allegiance and lead your faction to victory.
