Spotlight: Crystal Hills

This new series will introduce some of the common regions of the world of Xenocell. We take off with Crystal Hills, one of the starting regions within the game.

Crystal Hills is a cold, but calm place up northwest on the main continent. It's lakes are mostly frozen, but the nitrogen rich aura more than makes up for the cold. The below images show a human outpost north-west of Starfall at sunrise.


Day and night cycles will enable players to apply different strategies when fighting.

When the USN Eden was destroyed, it's survivors crashed all over the northern hemisphere. Mostly those survided, who either hit ground in the Kali desert, and were found by the Sojourn rescue team, and those who landed in Crystal Hills and were able to keep themselves warm until Starfall troops hurried to their aid.

Starfall - much like Sojourn - is one of the most important - if not the largest - human settlements. The city partially consists of still functional, now immobile UNS Eden lab dropships, and reaches below the hills through a series of tunnels - created using the remains of the terraforming equipment.

Stay tuned for more images about Crystal Hills and Starfall to appear in the Crystal Hills screenshot gallery.
