Mass Effect Flash Games

Mass Effect Information

All Mass Effect games start by creating a character at the beginning of the game. This character is known as Commander Shepard. You can create the physical features of the character as well as set his class. Mass Effect games all share a "branching plot" feature. This means every decision you make in the game can effect the plot in a serious way. Each game also has action sequences, such as flying your space ship and exploring enemy planets and ships. Collect weapons during these sequences to become more powerful. The available Mass Effect flash games don't focus on the role-playing aspects of the game, but on the action aspects.

The Mass Effect 2 shooter is available at the Moddb website. Players participate from a side-view and must shoot their way through a wide assortment of enemies. Control the game using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Each key moves the ship in its corresponding direction. The space bar shoots your gun, the mini-Krogan. Click on the "Full Screen" link to play the game in full screen mode. Collect red canisters for bonuses. Each canister has a different randomized bonus. Some restore health, give you a shield or destroy everything on the screen. A large mini-boss named Geth appears sporadically. Shoot him multiple times to defeat him. The boss Sovereign appears at the end of the game. Defeat him to win.

This flash game is available at the Sploder website. It focuses on the adventuring and exploring elements of Mass Effect. Play the game as Command Shepard from an overhead view. Control your character with the arrow buttons on the keyboard. Defeat enemies using a wide range of weapons. Press spacebar to shoot your gun, lay a mine with the "L" button, create an automated robot with the "B" button, shoot a missile with the "Z" button, attack with a ray gun by pressing the "X" button and throw a bomb with the "C" button. Collect keys to open doors and defeat each enemy in the level to unlock the door to the next level.

Create your own Mass Effect flash game if you don't enjoy the games available. Learn how to program using ActionScript, which is the frame-based programming language of Flash. Frame-based programming means you have to program each frame of animation in the game. Focus on aspects of the game you enjoy, such as interacting with other characters. Create role-playing elements similar to those in Mass Effect, such as attack, power and charm. Design worlds similar to the game and use these as your setting. Post your game to flash game websites.
