A thematic prequel to Space Cadets, Away Missions is a cooperative, scenario-based, tactical action game set in the Golden Age of science fiction where players take on the roles of adventurous human spacemen ("Rocketeers") who explore UFOs, acquire alien technology, and fight hordes of hostile extraterrestrials throughout 20 scenarios in a linked campaign. Cooperation, tactical planning, and a bit of luck are essential if the Rocketeers are to complete the mission parameters and overcome relentless hordes of hostile aliens - from the repulsive Mind Leeches to the rampaging titanic Sentinels!
