In Destiny, you play as a Guardian—one of the only heroes left from the last city on Earth. You must explore the ancient ruins of the solar system to reclaim what was lost and fight back against the alien races that have destroyed the realms of humanity.

Destiny is a shared-world first person shooter game with many RPG (Role Playing Game) like elements. Players must explore areas and participate in public events to gain new items and weapons that they can use against foes of increasing difficulty.
