The game launched with 8 maps that could be played in either team deathmatch or objective-based. In 2011, a "Last Stand" update had also added a single player, and a co-op mode. Unfortunately, the game was pulled from Steam in 2014, as the developer, which was bought by Creator/{{Rovio}} two years earlier, had to refocus on other projects.

''Shattered Horizon'' is a multiplayer FirstPersonShooter, created by [=FutureMark=] and published on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} in 2009. It is about a war between Earth and the Moon, with space infantry engaging each other in zero G environments. It is notably [[MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness hard sci-fi]] for an FPS, and could very well be compared to ''Manga/{{Planetes}}'' but with guns -- or ''Manga/MoonlightMile''.

!!Tropes present in this game:
* TwoDSpace: You can attack from above and below, however the lack of a single horizontal plane means that 'above' and 'below' are extremely subjective. ''Literature/EndersGame'' fans will tell you that the ''enemy's gate'' is down.
* BloodlessCarnage: The dead fighters float limp in space

!!Tropes:
do not really bleed, since simulating blood pooling in zero-gravity was ultimately beyond the hardware's capabilities.
* BoomHeadshot: Like in most FPS games, headshots deal bonus damage.

Created by FutureMark and promoted by Steam, Shattered Horizon is about a war between Earth and the Moon, with space infantry engaging each other in zero G environments.

The game is currently only multiplayer, with either team deathmatch or objective-based maps.

40 years into the future, a mining accident on the moon has caused a substantially huge chunk of it to dislocate, with the debris settling into various orbits around the Moon and Earth - the ring around Earth being referred to as the "arc". This has made supply lines into and out of space difficult, and the scant few survivors who remain hail from one of two factions; the International Space Agency (ISA) and the Moon Mining Cooperative (MMC). The ISA believes the MMC to be responsible for the catastrophe, and with the last large shipment to space being essentially a big stockpile of weaponry the two sides begin war against one another, fighting for their very survival over the last available resources.
