Picture the scene… Four approximately human-shaped figures are dropped unceremoniously onto a deserted paradise island, suddenly weapons and vehicles start appearing from nowhere … Who are these strange people? What is the purpose of all this hardware? Has some reality TV show finally gone too far in a relentless pursuit of ratings?
Sadly, no — but happily — also, no. This is Havocado.
You’re not limited to the confines of an idyllic island setting either, you can be confined to a multitude of other locations; so you can slug it out in a boxing arena or show off some slick skills on an oil rig. Although — *please note* — nothing about the way these guys move is slick. Frankly, they are thoroughly ill-equipped to drive, wield weapons or operate heavy machinery. In fact, walking in a straight line can often be a problem.
No one ever said it was going to be easy though and, as Dizzee Rascal once said: “If you believe it, you can achieve it — innit.” Dizzee was right. He may also have said: “If you wanna have Havocado, you’re going to need some bravado.” But he didn’t say that.
“The main reason we are considering an Early Access release for Havocado is our planning to develop more content based on the community feedback and reflect it directly in the game, add more levels-items-weapons-vehicles-game-modes and improve the online multiplayer experience. At this point, we believe that we have a fully presentable version having a decent amount of content with a focus on online multiplayer mode.”
“According to our estimations based on the production so far, we might stay in Early Access for 6 months to ideally double the content (levels, items, weapons, bosses, etc.) and perfect the game for different modes that emerge through the continuous development process.”
Key Features:
- Physics-based ragdoll combat
