Welcome to the Inversion walkthrough, where you’ll learn the best strategies for manipulating gravity to your will. Cop, family man, and protagonist David Russel finds himself stuck at the center of all-out war with a mysterious army equipped with radical new technology. Early in the game, Russel will get his hands on the Gravlink, a device that allows him to change the flow of gravity and manipulate objects.
Prepare to fight it out inside flipped upside-down apartments, or on the sides of skyscrapers, and use the environment around you as a weapon. Destroy cover, or build your own with the Gravlink’s manipulation abilities — even crush your opponents with special Gravlink powers. Save the city, save your family; try to survive the twisted war in Inversion.
