'Octogeddon' Enters Closed B8ta - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 8, 2017 @ 3:16 p.m. PST

Octogeddon is a semi-casual action strategy game where you play as a gigantic, enraged, mutating octopus bent on world destruction.

In Octogeddon, players take on the role of a giant mutant octopus bent on world destruction, where they grow more tentacles and evolve each of them into deadlier weapons until they become the ultimate eight-armed sushi avenger!

Octogeddon is the spiritual successor to Plants vs. Zombies: weird, playfully gruesome, and writhing with nearly infinite re-playability while only suctioning money out of your wallet ONCE.


Access to the limited Closed B8ta, which runs until shortly before the January launch, can be gained by winning one of 64 golden tickets available from select semi-secret sources – or in some cases by pestering Plants vs. Zombies creator George Fan on Twitter.

Joining George on the Octogeddon dev team are other PopCap Games alumni Rich Werner, the original artist for Plants vs. Zombies, and Kurt Pfeifer, lead developer of the XBLA adaptation of PvZ.

“The big studios and monolithic publishers in the video games industry can’t or won’t make games like Octogeddon any longer,” George said, waving both his tentacles irritably. “Rich, Kurt and I wanted to make a game that’s entirely focused on the fun, not the financial. As my first game launched since Plants vs. Zombies, and eighth overall, I consider this one my octo opus!”

Key Features:

  • Simple 2-button control scheme makes it easy to pick up and play
  • You've played Shoot-Em-Ups, but have you ever played a brand new genre of game called Spin-Em-Up? Dive into this new experience and SPIN TO WIN!
  • Deep customization: Attach different animals as weapons to each of your arms! The combinations are endless, and deciding what to upgrade is super satisfying!
  • A variety of enemies each requiring different tactics to fight. And boss battles too!
  • Wreaking havoc and destroying cities as a massive mutant octopus = Great stress relief! Some doctors will agree!
  • From the guys that brought you the original Plants vs. Zombies
  • Ridiculously fun and ridiculously ridiculous!!

Octogeddon will launch officially on February 8, 2018 on PC (Steam).
