The multiplayer mode offers five different default game types and a diversity of map locations. The missions are played in achronological order, set either in "The Past" (Victoria, Daniel, Julia, Mercury) or in "The Present" (Julia, Jericho, Mercury), with the former detailing the story of Julia's birth and childhood and the latter describing her search for vengeance upon the Tribals and later, for her own psychological identity. The single player campaign follows five playable characters (Victoria, Daniel, Julia, Mercury, and Jericho) whom the player navigates through 18 missions. This is the first and only game in the Tribes franchise to include such a mechanic. The introduction of a grappler gun adds another aspect to movement in the game. The player has three weapon slots, grenades, and a utility slot the utility slot holds items such as repair packs, speed packs, energy packs and deployables like repair stations, turrets and inventory stations. Heavier armor offers more hit points and ammunition but slower movement.
The game offers three classes of armor: light, medium, and heavy. Anything with hit points may be repaired by "repair packs" infantry may also pick up medkits dropped by other infantry upon death. Each character, vehicle, and machine has hit points. Skiing up a slope will cause the player to slow due to gravity.Ĭombat occurs primarily with ranged weapons, including bullet and explosive projectile firearms. Skiing may be activated any time the player is on foot and does not cost energy this switches the player to a frictionless ground-travel mode, allowing the player to slide very rapidly down slopes and (with sufficient speed before activating the skis) across flat terrain. This energy regenerates whenever the jetpack is not active. Jetpacks allow the player to fly for short periods of time, using the player's energy meter. The game's most distinguishing features are the jetpacks and "skis" offered on all variants of the power armor.
Additionally, there are multiple pilotable vehicles, which are restricted to third-person camera. While the game is tailored for first-person shooting, the player can also toggle to a third-person view at any time.
Part of the Tribes series, in addition to its multiplayer network maps, Vengeance includes a complete single-player campaign.Īs a primarily first-person shooter, Tribes: Vengeance places the player in control of an infantry soldier in power armor. It was built on an enhanced version of the Unreal Engine 2/2.5, which Irrational Games called the Vengeance engine. Tribes: Vengeance is a science fiction first-person shooter video game, developed by Irrational Games and released by Vivendi Universal Games in October 2004.
