Alpha Black Zero is set several hundred years in the future. Humankind has established hundreds of colonies among the stars, but, as a result, rebellion and unrest reign throughout the galaxy. You play Lieutenant Kyle Hardlaw, the commanding officer of the five-man Alpha Black Zero squad, which is tasked with carrying out covert missions on colony worlds. While on a routine assignment, you begin to uncover a vast conspiracy that sends you and your men in pursuit of a treasonous plot that's spread to several worlds. This web of deceit also pits you against your superiors, because the game starts off with you being brought in to face a military tribunal to explain your actions. From here, the rest of the game unfolds as one big flashback.
The game takes place on a variety of worlds and space stations. Though most levels are quite large, they're usually designed in such ways that you are channeled down particular paths. For instance, there's often just one direction that you can go, because all other directions are blocked off by impassable terrain. As you follow the path, you'll both encounter squads of enemy soldiers and engage in firefights to take them out. There's not much need for subtlety or tactics, so you'll basically just get close and unload on them. Enemy soldiers will roll to the side and will occasionally try to fall back, but most of the time they'll stand there, almost as if they're content being shot. It can take quite a bit of ammunition to take one down, though. On the other hand, Hardlaw and your marines can absorb almost a ridiculous amount of punishment themselves, so there's little need to crouch behind cover.
