From the makers of the Dreamcast action title Soul Fighter comes Hidden Invasion, a 3D beat-em-up set in the year 2027. The story follows two members of the Shadowforce division of the National Security Special Operations agency, assigned to what should be little more than a routine mission. It soon becomes obvious that it's anything but, and the duo eventually uncover an alien conspiracy -- the outcome of which will determine the fate of the human race. Gameplay is patterned after Toka's Dreamcast effort, in that players select a character (either a male or female pugilist) and must fight their way through a series of enemy-laden environments using the handful of melee attacks available to them. Offering brief respite from the constant hand-to-hand combat are the projectile weapons that can be found in each level.
