Overview
Description

The narrative unfolds through full‑motion video clips between missions, with occasional FMV messages from squad mates adding tension and context. Experience fast‑paced space combat and a sci‑fi storyline that blends action with atmospheric exploration.

In Total Eclipse, you join Earth's Stellar Guard to stop the alien Drak-sai from igniting a supernova with their Sun Dagger. Pilot a combat ship across four planetary battlegrounds, blasting through 20 intense rounds of non‑stop destruction on texture‑mapped 3D terrain. The game features a save‑game system for refueling breaks and demands lightning‑fast reflexes as shields buckle and bombs explode. The single‑player experience delivers classic 1994 arcade‑style action with a sci‑fi storyline, challenging players to master snap rolls and precise shooting to ultimately destroy the Sun Dagger and save the solar system.
