N.O.V.A. 3 is Gameloft's
third installment of the N.O.V.A. series for iOS, BlackBerry 10 and Android devices, with planned
releases for the BlackBerry PlayBook and Windows Phone
8 devices. The game was released on the App Store on
May 10, 2012. N.O.V.A. 3 falls into the sci-fi action-adventure FPS genre. Gameloft also launched a
free to play edition of N.O.V.A 3 which is known as N.O.V.A 3 :Freedom Edition. Unlike its
predecessors, instead of being faithfully orientated towards Halo,
N.O.V.A 3 is more orientated to games such as Killzone and Call of Duty.
He and Sergeant Becker ride a 4x4 to the artifact
location. As instructed to, Becker gets on the gun of the 4x4 and covers the
entrance. Kal manages to reach the artifact, but right next to it stands
Prometheus, who forbids him to get the artifact. Prometheus explains he is the
hand of the Judgers, and he will be returning the artifact to them.
Prometheus then tells Kal that unsurprisingly, Becker was
overpowered and killed by the swarm of Volterites at the entrance. He then
explains that Kal will have to retrieve two more artifacts for the Judgers in
order to stop them from "cleansing" the world, killing both humans
and Volterites in the process. Prometheus also tells him that he will have to
get to the Fyna galaxy and battle for the second artifact.
The second artifact is hidden in an ancient Volterite
ship, Therrius. Kal is teleported there by Prometheus, and gets the artifact,
with the help of new Volterite ally Maz'Rah. In the process, Kal reactivates
the ship as well, which would help Maz'Rah's Volterite rebels in their war
against the Volterites who are hostile to humans, called the Dominion.
Then, Kal heads to desert planet Boreas, where he works
with his old friend Rufus to retrieve the third artefact. However, after
fighting off the rebels on Boreas and an intense car chase, the Volunteers
escape with the artifact and take it to their home planet, Volteron, where they
intend to convert the artifact into a weapon of mass destruction to use against
the humans.
