The game had downloaded, taking less than 3 minutes, and was ready for me to play. I opened it and on my screen were the large words "Earth Saviours". To play the game,I needed to make an account which I did straight away.

After setting it up, I started to play, and it was an interesting game, unlike any I had seen or played before. I tended to play war games and other games of the sort, but this was futuristic and was a game to fight against the aliens, Syrax. I was put in a group of 7 people, including me and we had to work together to fight against the Syrax. It was played like a real life battle, we wouldn't know what they were able to do and if we died we are unable to regenerate, or come back until he next battle. If weapons weren't good enough to defeat the Syrax, we had to work together to work out a plan, to trick the opponents. It was a hard game that required more thinking and made it seem like a real life situation. The Syrax were hard to defeat but my team and I, which changed every battle, would be able to defeat the aliens sometimes but the Syrax won other times too. It was addictive but made me think harder and challenged my analysing skills.

As days passed I started playing it more and more often, 1 battle turning into 2, 2 turning into 5 5 turning into 10 each day. Battles wouldn't end until every single person on the other team had been defeated, whether they are unable to fight or dead.

The game is easier now, it's either that I've gotten better or the creators made it easier, but it's still fun. My team wins almost all of the battles and defeat the Syrax, each time I understand how they attack, defend and analyse us. It becomes easier to know what their next move will be. They communicate through hand movements and body language, they don't talk. They don't have or use weapons but they attack with their long tusks and use tricks to distract us from their attacks. They  have long skinny legs, 4 of them and tusks near their small mouth. They also have long white horns running down their red lizard-like back, and a tail with spikes on the sides. The Syrax looked like they were made for battle, they didn't need or use weapons. They had large red ears, similar to an elephants and large wings, like a bat's, with veins being visible. But they weren't impossible to defeat.

I could understand and analyse their movements, which stopped me from getting tricked, but I couldn't say the same for the rest of my team, although they were better at me at attacking and defending. I could only analyse and see while the team could attack.
