Raven Squad has an intriguing concept behind it – the game presents a blend of real time strategy and first person shooter play. The year is 2011, and it's four days from Christmas. There won't be a snowy Christmas morning for you though, oh no. You'll be traipsing around the Amazon with Raven Squad, an elite group of mercenaries led by a former SAS man going by the name of Paladin. You've been given a mission to pick up a hard disc containing sensitive data lost by a large corporation in a plane crash. It was never going to be straightforward though, was it? They're taken down by a surface to air missile and a fight for survival quickly ensues. Throughout the course of the game, players can switch from RTS mode to FPS at any time. In RTS mode they control their infiltrator and assault teams. If the phrase 'RTS' sends a shiver up your spine – fear not! It's a stripped down version of the genre which won't demand base building and complex tech trees. If you want to get your hands dirty, though, just dive straight into the action in FPS mode at any time! Raven Squad also features co-op play, enabling two would-be mercenaries to take control of a squad each. There'll be no white Christmas for these guys!
