Those advanced pieces of high\-tech possess a unique ability called  Isvará  that allows them to absorb the energy of their environment and unleash devastating attacks\.  Unfortunately, our Anakim is not able to develop its Isvará, so we will be completely helpless before the appearance of a group of Renegade Anakim pilots who threaten to destroy the established order\.

It is also included the 8\-bit version of the video game called  Invaders of Ekron , which shows a retro vertical shoot'em up retro style\. Features   A strong sci\-fi narrative experience with an innovative mixture between the "adventure" and "shoot'em up" genres\.
