505 Games Announces MorphX: Screens+Cover Art+Trailer

This is how we would have wanted the movie “Independence Day” script to have been. Just a little of 505 Games added into it, well it’s just wishful thinking.

Maybe that’s how 505 Games was able to read our minds by creating this game. They announced this week that the formerly named title The Swarm, has transformed into the action packed sci-fi third person shooter now MorphX.

After coming out of refuge from your bunker, you find the world has been invaded and destroyed by aliens. With nothing in your disposal to fight the right way against them, you discover there is one way to achieve victory; with their own DNA.

With this discovery and the variety of weapons you were using (including firearms, clubs, plasma projectors and grenades). Solving mini-games and puzzles, you’ll absorb new abilities that you’ll be able to chain together to inflict even more damage when the enemies get tougher while looking for a cure for your people.

MorphX is dropping nationwide on shelves June 1, 2010 on the Microsoft Xbox 360. Check out the screens, trailer, and cover art below:

505 GAMES’ MORPHX SET TO INVADE XBOX 360™ CONSOLES THIS JUNE

505 Games today announced that the upcoming action-packed sci-fi third-person shooter MorphX, formerly titled The Swarm, will be available nationwide on June 1, 2010 for Xbox 360™. In MorphX, players emerge from an underground shelter to find their planet devastated following a hostile alien invasion. Outgunned and overpowered, it appears all efforts to fight the vicious aliens are futile. Players soon discover that the only way to defeat their enemies may be to become mutants themselves by absorbing alien DNA. As players morph into alien-human hybrids, their new powers give them advantages to battle the alien infestation.

While searching for an antidote to cure their allies, players have a variety of weapons-including firearms, clubs, plasma projectors and grenades — for melee or ranged combat against enemies. Additionally, players will solve mini-games and puzzles, allowing for the option to absorb new abilities that make them more adept at fighting tougher enemies. Players can then build and morph alien DNA chains to improve different abilities like an increased regeneration rate, or enhanced vision.

While on a mission to rescue their allies, the question remains: what is left of humanity to save?

MorphX is set to swarm shelves on June 1 for Xbox 360™.
