'Apocalypse Cow' Still In Development - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 17, 2017 @ 12:08 a.m. PST

Part comedy part chaos, Apocalypse Cow will take your favorite games and movies and explode them into a pool of blood and parody.

Apocalypse Cow is inspired by Pixar and Tarantino and is directed as an explosive arcade adventure. Rupture time to slow down traps, avoid bullets or freeze boxes mid-air to reach far away platforms. Destroy your enemies, solve puzzles and get lost in a digital world with peculiar characters. Apocalypse Cow is a cinematic arcade adventure set in a digital universe. A cute, psychotic little girl with the power to rupture time, travels across GameWorlds to find a missing robot. It's a journey that will teach her the true meaning of friendship and explosions.

Nobody knows why the Glitch happened. Its ripples spread throughout the digital universe changing it forever. And CandyWorld, a once utopian game-world brimming with happiness and cupcakes, is now a violent, thug infested hell-hole.

In this broken world a cute and slightly psychotic girl with the power to Rupture Time embarks on a journey to find her friend's robot; and redemption.

But an electric storm is brewing on the horizon and some mistakes can't be undone.


What makes Apocalypse Cow special?

It's combining crazy explosive action, a Time Rupture ability and a deep story that's one part sad, one part I want to eat burritos - and blends everything together! It's a story talking about friendship and dealing with personal loss while fighting insecure robots, strippers, Netflix watching wizards and other curiosities.

It is a narrative driven game, in the same manner Tomb Raider and Uncharted work. The story is told equally through cutscenes and gameplay sequences and every character feels real - as real as they can be, considering they live in the digital space.

The game is hardcore. It is difficult. But it is also non-penalizing. Except for your pride, because the instant respawn comes with a death counter.

The heart of the gameplay is the Time Rupture ability. Hold down a tiny little button (depending on keyboard sizes) to freeze time around you. Use that to cut down thugs before they can blink, overcome armies or blow up walls and jump on the debris before they hit the ground! Your power is great. But your enemy is indestructible.


Key Features:

  • Play locally with a friend and face challenges designed for 2.
  • Unlock the coolest costumes EVER!
  • Unleash hell with Katanas, Bazookas or exotic options like the Shrinker or Mjolnir!
  • Two Game Modes: Default (Hardcore) and Granny Mode (for those with finger arthritis)
  • Unlockable Speedrunner Mode (think you can you beat our times?)
  • Full speech! Wow!
  • Nice graphics and stuff.

Apocalypse Cow is currentrly in development for PC/Mac, but a console announcement is scheduled for Dec. 2017.
