What Unit 13 is
Unit 13 is a shooter game developed by Zipper Interactive and released in 2012. It was published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is available on PlayStation Vita only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Unit 13 plays much like the SOCOM franchise. The camera stays directly behind the player character in third-person, or otherwise shifts to first person aim if the player selects the option to zoom in with guns that have the compatible attachments. Objectives can be completed in any order in each mission, with some missions allowing taking any approach to accomplish a goal (Direct Action) while others have certain conditions, such as requiring stealth. All missions can be played co-operatively, and each mission features an unlockable "Dynamic" Mode, which changes objectives and objective locations, enemy weapons and locations, to random values and points in the environment.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action and warfare. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative and Single player.
