'Dimension Drive' Also Coming To Nintendo Switch - Trailer

by Rainier on July 26, 2017 @ 8:16 a.m. PDT

Dimension Drive is a comic book-styled space shoot'em up set in a multi-dimensional universe featuring a teleportation mechanic that allows you to fight on two battlefields at once.

Dimension Drive is a space shoot'em up which gameplay combines frantic shooting, defense and fast puzzling action, and brings a unique mix of genres, storytelling and action to reality. Play two games at once on this dual battlefield madness set on a comic book universe!

The Ashajuls, a cruel multidimensional alien race, are attacking our universe. Fight as Jackelyne Tywood (a.k.a. Jack) in The Manticore, a legendary ship capable of teleporting across space and dimensions. Uncover the mysteries of your past and the origin of the Dimension Drives with your trusty friend and A.I., "V.E.R.A.", at your side.

Dimension Drive features single player, local co-op game modes. Unlock various weapons by finding secret data cubes in the levels and improve your arsenal for the ultimate fight.

Dimension Drive development has been a long journey that has brought us a lot of personal changes (changing our jobs from space engineers to indie game devs) and challenges like going through two Kickstarter campaigns in a row. Having the possibility to release Dimension Drive at the same time on  Nintendo Switch and Steamthis fall is a big moment for celebration.

Key Features:

  • A New Type of Shoot’Em Up: Dimension Drive is a Dual-Battlefield vertical Shoot’Em Up with a focus on smart, quick teleporting.
  • Rich Sci-fi Adventure: Unfold the secrets of the Dimension Drives and your past, teleport across the multiverse fighting the ultimate threat, and meet new races and allies!
  • Clever Mix of Three Mechanics: A seamless combination of levels focusing on strategic shooting, fast puzzling and frantic defense make the core of Dimension Drive an exciting and varied one.
  • 2 Wars at Once: Multitask and teleport to single-handedly fight in two shoot'em up levels at the same time.
  • 4 Game Modes: Arcade, Modern, Pacifism and 1 Credit Clear all force you to approach the game in different ways and add replay value!
  • Comic Book Style: Experience the story of Jack Tywood through gorgeous, dynamic motion comics fitting the cel-shaded style and visual "pop" of the main game. In Dimension Drive, video games meet comics. Who said space was just black?
  • Energy Management: The Manticore is powered by Dimension Drive energy. Carefully decide when and where to teleport while in the midst of combat.
  • Advanced Scoring System: Shoot'em up fans and genre newcomers alike will enjoy our unique scoring system that rewards you for playing truly well, rather than simply shooting enemies.
  • Teleportation!: We've said that already, right? It's what makes our game really unique! No? Okay then--Teleportation!

David Jimenez and Alejandro Santiago are developing Dimension Drive in their free time while working as Engineers in the European Space Agency (ESA). At the beginning of 2015, they joined forces with an amazing team of artists and musicians to help them make Dimension Drive the game of our dreams.
