JoWood goes alien hunting

Zax - The Alien Hunter officially announced

JoWood have officially unveiled their isometric action-adventure game Zax - The Alien Hunter. As the game starts the eponymous adventurer has been shot down and stranded on an uncharted planet which is about to be turned into a haze of sub-atomic particles by a supernova. Now it's up to you to help him repair his ship, getting tangled up in a dispute between the natives and an angry god in the process. Sounds like it's going to be one of those days...

JoWood are promising a lengthy single-player campaign to get your teeth into along with "extensive multi-player options". With the game due for release towards the end of this year, we should know more soon.
