About This Game
The once peaceful surface of Mars has decayed into a violent battleground between arms corporations and Earthly governments.
To join the fight would be crazy. To survive would be downright psychotic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Landsword is a top-down mecha shooter with a heavy emphasis on destruction and gameplay that combines elements from classic shoot em' ups with contemporary action-stealth games.
Featuring fully destructible environments, players must use their wits and surroundings to outsmart and defeat enemies in combat, while still retaining an arcade feeling to its gameplay.
This early prototype demo currently includes seven different missions with fourteen different weapons to choose from.

"D3DXCompile failed / Fatal Error in Vertex Shader Compilation"
Upon starting a mission, you may encounter an error screen that says a shader named
shd_outline_old
failed to compile. This error only occurs because your computer does not have DirectX9 or later, so please see if your DirectX driver is up to date or installed at all. You can download the driver patch directly from the
Microsoft website.
This will fix any shader compile errors if you are having them, and should work on
any
Windows version (including XP and Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit)
If you are having the same issue on a Linux emulator, please use Winetricks to install the DirectX patch and then try again.
A dedicated Linux build will also come eventually, but currently I do not have the ability to compile one.
----------------------
This demo is 100% free and the game is a work in progress, but any donations will go to paying for a proper soundtrack and some additional programming help for things such as shaders.
