Indebted to the wrong people, with his life on the line, veteran of the U.S.
Cavalry and now hired gun, Booker De-Witt has only one opportunity to wipe his
slate clean. He must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since
childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust one
another, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape.
Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities,
as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed Sky-Lines, and down
in the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the threats of the air-city and
uncovering its dark secret.
BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter with role-playing elements. As
Booker, the player moves about the various structures of Columbia using a
grappling hook, a series of railways connecting the buildings called the
Skyline, and other transport means to search for Elizabeth. The player will gain
weapons which can be used in numerous ways within the environment, including on
the Skyline, to defeat enemies. Booker gains powers and abilities by using
‘vigors’ and wearing gear that are found through Columbia.
Vigors grant activated powers such as telekinesis, electricity manipulation,
or animal control, while selected gear are passive abilities that can improve
the player's strength or damage resistance. With gear, the player has four
available slots, and has to make decisions on which combination of offensive and
defensive capabilities work for them. The key to success is to use vigor and
weapons strategically – the player will be rewarded for considering all
elements of the combat scenario and utilising the tools at Booker’s disposal
in the best way possible!
