==Summary==
Lost Planet is a science fiction survival shooter series created by Capcom. The series is set in the future after Earth suffers a crippling energy crisis that drives humanity to the brink of extinction, at which point humanity leaves Earth in the year T.C. -80 to colonize an ice world on the edge of the galaxy codenamed E.D.N. III. They then discover the presence of insectoids, christened as the Akrid, on the planet's surface and an incredibly potent energy source known as Thermal Energy, or simply T-ENG, residing within the Akrid. After leaving the colony behind (and those unlucky enough to make it offworld, who eventually become Snow Pirates) and returning later armed to the teeth to combat the Akrid menace, using miniature Mecha dubbed Vital Suits, or VSs, humanity fights for its domain on the frozen surface of E.D.N. III, hoping to someday make a new home for themselves and start anew.
The first game in the series, known as Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, or simply Lost Planet, was released in 2007 for the Xbox 360 originally before being ported to PS3 and PC via Steam. The game takes place 22 years after the second colonization effort went underway and follows a Snow Pirate named Wayne as he assaults a NEVEC (Neo-Venus Construction Industries) compound, alongside his father Gale and a company of other Snow Pirates, before being blindsided by an Akrid known as Green Eye and watching his comrades get slaughtered, barely escaping with his life. He then passes out outside the dome facility he infiltrated, later rescued by Snow Pirates Yuri Solotov, Luka, and Rick, waking up with no memories whatsoever. He proceeds to help the three Snow Pirates break through the extreme and inhospitable wastes for a terraformation system dubbed "The Frontier Project" while slowly regaining his memories and seeking out Green Eye to settle the score once and for all.
The first game had a sequel in 2010, Lost Planet 2, released on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC and had a co-op focus, compared to the first game's linear campaign. Set 10 years after the first game's events, E.D.N. III has undergone terraformation. Every nook and cranny of the planet has all sorts of lively biomes with their own dangers lurking, like new kinds of Pirates and even bigger Akrid. There is no set main character in the sequel; instead, you play as a four-person squad of Snow Pirates as you traverse the now varied and less extreme biomes of E.D.N. III, killing as much Akrid as is thrown at you and encountering even bigger and more dangerous ones as you go.
Then came a spin-off, two years later, that was released in Japan only for the PS3 and 3DS, titled E.X. Troopers. It was a rapid departure from the survival-based gameplay of the first two games in the series, providing a more anime-style appearance and tone overall. The game begins with spacecraft transporting recruits to NEVEC Academy's educational institutions on E.D.N. III. Bren Turner, an E.D.N. II candidate, is among the recruits when the mysterious VSs attack. Instructor Walter Stingray chooses Bren to pilot a prototype VS with a next-gen AI capable of autonomous behavior. Bren, the new "master" of this cutting-edge machine, joins Walter to defend the fleet. Bren and Walter defeat the attackers but are forced to eject from Gingira during atmospheric entry to E.D.N. III.
Finally, a sequel to Lost Planet 2 was announced alongside E.X. Troopers, named Lost Planet 3, which was released on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC via Steam in 2013. Taking place right after the second colonization commences on E.D.N. III, Lost Planet 3 is an extremely story-driven departure from the last three games, where you play as blue-collar worker Jim Peyton in the mines deep within E.D.N. III. Promised a good life back on Earth for his wife and child, Jim accepts a job for NEVEC to work in the mines of E.D.N. III, starting the colonization of the planet alongside other colleagues, including Wayne's father Gale Holden. As he continues to work at the mines there, he begins to find a startling truth behind the colony itself: they weren't the first to settle on the planet. After the reality of the Snow Pirates' existence on the planet and NEVEC's rapid and appalling response, Jim takes it upon himself to fight against his employer and find out why they're trying to cull the Snow Pirates, and find out what they plan to do with the mother of all Akrid Nushi, which is tied to the planet itself, turning it into a living, sentient being.
==Power of the Verse==
Lost Planet packs a surprising punch for a verse that seems like a low-end realistic sci-fi shooter franchise. Most Snow Pirates are far more durable than normal human beings, being capable of being run over by VSs and getting up in one piece and continuing fighting. Many VSs can also combat large-scale Akrid, who can easily withstand walking through entire buildings one after another. There is also some hax present such as Energy Projection and Energy Manipulation, Awakened Power, Teleportation, Life Manipulation, Technology Manipulation, manipulating elements, Statistics Amplification, Regeneration and Longevity, and sometimes even hax like Resurrection, Durability Negation, and even Black Hole Creation.
The high end of this verse can even affect up to the planet's surface on E.D.N. III, like the Frontier Project in the first game, the Over-G Akrid in Lost Planet 2, or Kreis Ravel's space station absorbing all the Thermal Energy on the planet in E.X. Troopers.
