'Conglomerate 451' Delayed until Early 2020, Updated Development Roadmap

by Rainier on Oct. 25, 2019 @ 9:43 a.m. PDT

Conglomerate 451 is an evolution of the classic, first-person dungeon crawler genre, datamoshed together with a cyberpunk twist.

Embracing its grid-based, dungeon crawling RPG roots, Conglomerate 451 offers players an evolution of one of gaming’s most beloved genres.

Tasked with taking down the corrupt corporations that threaten sector 451 of Conglomerate city, establish and manage a crack team of cloned agents, altering their DNA and outfitting them with the latest in high-end cyberlimbs, implants and weaponry to best carve out an edge in this city-wide struggle.

Each encounter carries additional weight, however. Roguelike elements ensure that not only could each mission be an agent’s last, but that even the most inconsequential wound can evolve into a permanent status modifier, changing the way they approach future encounters. This means players will have to leverage everything from hacking and equippable agent skills, to strategic use of their personal R&D department to make it out alive.


Since its Early Access launch earlier this year, our cyberpunk, grid-based, dungeon crawler Conglomerate 451 has been growing and improving with each update. The continued community feedback has been the source of, and inspiration for so many of the changes, tweaks, and bug fixes that have been introduced since we first put this game into the hands of the players.
 
We had planned to exit Steam Early Access in October 2019, however with the help of our community, we’ve noticed many opportunities to improve existing gameplay, add new content, and update features to better serve Conglomerate 451 players. We want to come out of Early Access with a truly great game, so instead of releasing the full version we have decided to remain in Early Access a little while longer and aim for February 2020.
 
Right now we’re working on quality of life features, more loot, new collectables, and better rewards. Stay tuned for news about new bosses, Steam achievements, and story mode. We hope you’re going to be really excited for all this and more.

Key Features:

  • Classic dungeon crawling - Face your enemies in a cyberpunk take on classic, turn-based dungeon crawling gameplay by choosing the best strategy, taking advantage of their weak points and making the most out of your agents' skills
  • Manage your resources - Make use of your own personal R&D department to research advanced technology, unlocking new features, powers and options for progression
  • More than just body mods - In addition to upgrading weapon and armor proficiencies, augment your body with interchangeable cyber implants that completely change your agent’s skills and utility
  • Pain and Trauma system - Even the smallest wounds can have a lasting impact. By taking damage in combat, agents risk generating permanent Traumas that will follow them between missions
  • Procedural cyber dungeons - Experience the dungeon crawling you love, mixed with future technology as you take on procedurally-generated dungeons and missions
  • If you die in the game... - Each mission could be your last thanks to agent permadeath. Consider every move, because if an agent dies in battle, they will be lost forever
  • Hack the world - Enter cyberspace mid-mission and hack your way ahead of the competition to get crucial intel and give yourself the advantage

Currently available on on Steam Early Access, Conglomerate 451 is scheduled for release in Feb. 2020.
