A POWERFUL STORY THAT YOU CONTROL: For three years the soldiers of the Black Lance Legion have watched as the Invaders turned their solar system into a hellish, desolate wasteland. Humanity’s most advanced fighting force lurked in the shadows, doing little while their species was forced to choose between eternal enslavement… or extinction. The wait ends when Admiral Franks, the legendary Storm Lord at the head of the Legion, announces a system-wide uprising against humanity’s oppressors. Cromulus and his team of human fanatics find themselves on the front lines, doing whatever it takes to crush the will of the Invaders. In SOL INVICTUS, Cromulus finds out that not all humans are willing to take the kinds of risks that he takes. And while he has less than zero tolerance for pacifism, what the Legion does with its softer recruits may be too much even for him… The second part of Kyle B.

Super atmospheric, and very well put together. I love the audio." - Dont forget a towel (9.25/10) "High replay value with its divergent narratives." -- App Advice "Overall verdict: great, great, great." -- Lloyd of Gamebooks -- Pocket Gamer (Silver Award) ------------------------------------ "The kind of deathly sci-fi that you’ll enjoy if you liked Dead Space or the frightening moments of desperation in Gravity." "Heavy Metal Thunder is a cruel and unforgiving gamebook. It bashes you against the debris of space over and over, and is happy to leave you at the mercy of all manner of terrors." "Its a pretty big departure from the usual tone weve come to expect from iOS gamebooks, and thats no bad thing. Its not quite hard sci-fi, but theres a bleakness here that you rarely find in a Fighting Fantasy adaptation." "Its refreshingly grim, and manages to keep you entertained throughout its hefty running time." "Fans of the genre thirsting for something a little darker should definitely give it a look." -- Pocket Tactics -------------------- "A big sweeping pulp sci-fi story of impossible odds and encroaching insanity." "I had a lot of fun with Heavy Metal Thunder, and look forward to future installments."
