'First Wonder' Making Public Debut At TwitchCon - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 22, 2015 @ 4:19 p.m. PDT

Spiritual successor to MDK and Giants: Citizen Kabuto, First Wonder features a unique blend of third-person shooter gameplay with an emphasis on verticality within an open-ended world ripe for exploration.

When a greedy corporation tricks the planet’s peaceful inhabitants, the Majorcans, to give up their land to found a luxury resort, they accidentally awaken the slumbering giant Monstro. Tasked with fulfilling an ancient prophecy, destruction follows in Monstro’s wake as he takes steps to accomplish his destiny-driven goal. The Cargonauts - a underprepared salvage team, way out of their league when Monstro awakens - take to the skies using their rocket technology in an attempt at matching Monstro’s natural gifts. To find and capture the terrifying beast, the Cargonaunts must use their wits and a variety of tools and inventive traps.

Players will alternatively take the reigns of both Monstro and the ragtag team of Cargonauts tasked with stopping him in the humor-laden, genre-defying ​First Wonder ​ .

Monstro's size and agility makes him a powerful and elusive foe, able to leap over obstacles, charge at opponents, and exploit the natural formations of the game's expansive Majorcan Islands for quick traversal and strategic strikes. The Cargonauts, a ragtag team of deep space salvagers, are tasked with recapturing the terrifying beast, using teamwork, tools, and powerful jet packs to rival Monstro's natural abilities.


Rogue Rocket Games - whose co-founders Nick Bruty and Richard Sun previously worked on MDKGiants: Citizen Kabuto, Earthworm Jim, and Star Wars: Republic Commando - will share their updated hands-on "early look" multiplayer demo of First Wonder with TwitchCon attendees, where they’ll go head-to-head against Rogue Rocket Games themselves. As the terrifying giant "Monstro", players must evade or destroy all opposition in their way, using a repertoire of destructive abilities and surprising interactions within the environment, as Monstro works towards fulfilling a foreboding prophecy.

Rogue Rocket Games will also launch its Kickstarter campaign for First Wonder, live at the first-annual TwitchCon in San Francisco on Friday, September 25th, at 11 a.m. PST / 2 p.m. EST at the Rogue Rocket Games booth of the Taco Bell Indie Game Garage (Booth #9, Main Expo Hall, Moscone West) and on Twitch
