OVERVIEW:
These battles gave rise to the Guardians, warriors capable of harnessing some of The Traveler's power. Players take on the role of a Guardian, protecting the last city from attack and exploring long-lost civilizations on Earth and its closest neighbors. Gamers can create and customize their Guardian, choosing from the cyborg Exo, ethereal Awoken, and Human species, and then selecting from the Hunter, Warlock, and Titan classes. Species type affects only physical appearance, but each class has specific skill trees, abilities, weapons, and subclasses. Destiny is optimized for multiplayer action, but solo gamers can still take part in the majority of the integrated campaign. Accompanied by their AI robot Ghost, players set out to discover the remains of great Golden Age civilizations, exploring the dangerous frontiers of Earth, traveling through subterranean labyrinths on the Moon, cutting through the lush jungles of Venus, and visiting massive Martian skyscrapers now buried under the sand. As gamers explore the solar system, they will collect resources to upgrade their weapons and gear, and confront a variety of powerful enemies, including the zombie-like Hive, the time-traveling Vex cyborgs, the hulking, heavily armed Cabal, and the six-limbed, humanoid Fallen.
