Killsquad features an in-depth loot and class system with procedurally generated levels and missions ensuring no play session, either in single player or with friends is the same.Taking place in a futuristic pulp sci-fi setting, Killsquad blends a space western styling with the top down isometric look and feel of a traditional RPG. Featuring dynamic planets that pose as much as a threat to players as the enemy inhabitants do, players embark on a contract and encounter an array of deadly creatures, automated defence systems and other lethal adversaries as they navigate the exotic, richly detailed environments of each planet.

Killsquad revolves around quick session oriented missions, giving players an intense action based single and multiplayer experience.

Novarama invites players to participate in the first official Summer Event of their sci-fi co-op ARPG, Killsquad, for a chance to win exclusive prizes.

After a successful Steam Early Access launch last month, developers wanted to thank players and have begun rolling out community-centric initiatives in the run-up to its first major update UNSEEN coming in a few weeks.

Every week throughout August players will have an opportunity to obtain an exclusive bounty hunter skin, starting with Cass. By completing contracts, players will collect special tokens that they can cash in for the new skin, which is only available for the duration of the event, ending on September 20th.

Players can select one of 4 different heroes to play, each of which has their own distinct capabilities based on their class: Assassin, Warrior, Specialist or Support. Each class takes skill to master, thanks to a fast console-style control mechanic which unlocks character-specific abilities and traits. Killsquad’s class system means players have access to plenty of upgradeable gear and design options to completely customize their chosen character including their appearance with character skins. With a variety of different weapons and contracts to unlock and equipment to acquire, players have a seemingly endless selection of options to utilize in a deadly universe that’s always active.

Powerful attack skills specific to each character class can also be acquired to employ against the more deadly enemies or boss encounters along the way. Defeated enemies will drop useful resources, currency and DNA, which can be used to buy better weapons and gear in the game shop, as well as buying perks to upgrade them.

Killsquad is available on Steam Early Access for $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99, with PS4 and Xbox One versions to follow in 2020.
