Pressure Overdrive is a four-wheeled arcade shoot'em up that takes players on a wild ride as they fight against the evil Count Soap, who has stolen the water from all surrounding rivers to fill his gigantic ‘Uber-Spa’.As the pilot of a steam-powered and heavily armed buggy, players have to ram and shoot their way through hordes of crazy enemies, including a series of powerful bosses. In between missions, they get to pimp their ride with a variety of upgrades and customization options.
When Chasing Carrots launched the original Pressure in 2013, they knew they had created a unique action-arcade game. Their follow-up game Pressure Overdrive improves on the original concept and appeals to a broad audience with its entertaining blend of arcade action and four-wheeled shoot ‘em up. On top of the new twin stick control scheme, the game offers additional weapons, new upgrade paths, an endless mode and couch co-op for playing with your friends. Plus a new tutorial level that will help players get into the game.
All game modes can be played cooperatively by two players on the same screen, with shared results being recorded in a coop high score. The Campaign Mode offers over 30 levels, including boss battles, in three different worlds. In Freeplay Mode, previously unlocked levels can be mastered again under new conditions, the Endless Mode challenges through fast-paced action and continuously increasing difficulty. Never fear as you can upgrade your buggy with over 35 weapons and gadgets to take up the fight for ’La Resistance‘.
‘Pressure Overdrive will be the perfect Switch experience‘, says Dominik Schneider, CEO at Chasing Carrots. ‘We are looking forward to players being glued to their couches, frantically putting their thumbs to a test in order to master pure arcade action‘
‘I always wanted to realize a twin-stick shooter, that is also fun using a controller with only one stick‘, says Richard Wepner, lead programmer at PainDevs. ‘Switch players can control their buggy with a single JoyCon and hand over the other JoyCon to a friend to join them‘.
Pressure Overdrive creates a unique action-arcade vibe with its colourful world, various enemy types, and dynamic physics effects.
Currently available on PS4, Xbox One and PC, Pressure Overdrive will be available for download from the Nintendo eShop on April 4, 2019 for 12,99$/10.99£/12.99€.
