Bringing together dystopian themes of dehumanisation, political instability and environmental disaster, we've created an amazingly immersive experience where the objective is to tactically understand and utilise your environment in a battle against deadly enemies.
Players jack into advanced multi-ability combat rigs and battle a range of formidable enemies and mech weapon systems across post apocalyptic Manchester, in fast paced gameplay that will push any players shooter skills to the limit.
Players must battle their way through multiple gore-filled levels, blasting apart grotesque enemy hives, eliminating wave after wave of enemy scum with powerful weapons that push player’s skills to the limit.
Of the demo release, Lead Developer Lee said: “The recent preview-only gameplay at EGX in London went very well – for an indie stand we were massively surprised by the uptake and the fact we had people queuing for nearly an hour to see the game – everyone loved it.
“We’re over the moon then, as you can imagine, to release the demo at large at PlayExpo in Manchester around not only our local peers and an amazing Northern gamer and defveloper community, but to the world at large at this event.”
“We had to streamline a couple of things for the demo to ensure that gameplay is at its very best. We will have to PCs available at PlayExpo to test out the game – that way at least the queues for the demo will be little less daunting than they were at EGX!” said Lead Developer Phil.
Pixelbomb is currently creating a geo-locative storyline in Akihabara, Japan and Manchester in support of the game, with cryptic story elements to promote social interaction.
The next big step for us here at Pixelbomb Games is to prepare for feedback and bug sweeps of our first release. Our hopes are that many of you play the pre-alpha demo and flood us with your feedback. We are also offering a pre-sales option via our website for those of you eager to jump aboard now. Soon after the demo we are planning to begin Steam early access, details of which are to be announced in the near future.
