The city is under siege, and the enemy's bombardment is relentless. In Fire for Effect, you step into the boots of a lone survivor tasked with manning a detached heavy artillery piece.
Your mission is not to win the war, but to delay the inevitable, buying precious time for the last remaining survivors to escape the encroaching doom.
This isn't your typical shooter. Your only weapon is a powerful artillery gun, and its effectiveness lies in its unique ability to intercept incoming enemy shells.
By strategically knocking enemy projectiles into each other, you can trigger devastating chain reactions that clear the screen and push back the relentless assault. Each shot counts as you defend against overwhelming odds, turning the enemy's own firepower against them.
