The
game is inspired by the courageous high sea rescue mission of Captain
Richard Phillips, who was captured by rogue Somali pirates and rescued
by the crack team of US Navy SEAL snipers. Games2win.com, an online
games company, announced the release of its real-life inspired online
game titled 'Saving Captain Phillips.'
Captain
Richard Phillips was captured by Somali pirates from his ship, the
Maersk Alabama and had a harrowing experience of being held captive
until the US Navy stepped in and deployed the Sniper team of the Navy
SEALs to rescue him.
The
online game, according to the company, recreates the actual episode and
allows players to become Navy SEAL Snipers and embark on a life
threatening mission to help rescue the captain.
"Games2win wanted to honor the incredibly brave US Navy SEAL snipers and
the heroic Captain Richard Phillips by producing an online game that
recreates the events and the action that actually happened,” says Alok
Kejriwal, CEO, Games2win.
The
game begins with a scene of Captain Richard Phillips surrendering
himself to the pirates in order to save his ship's crew members. The
game play area is the recreated scene of Navy SEAL snipers taking
positions and expertly shooting the pirates to save the captain.
In this
high stakes action game, users take on the role of Navy SEAL Snipers and
