'Cosmorons' Is An Intergalactic Arcade Shooter Coming To Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox And PC In 2025 - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 21, 2024 @ 7:00 p.m. PST

Cosmorons is a unique mix of gravity-defying gameplay, slapstick-tinged parody, and a classic low-poly-inspired aesthetic all wrapped up in an addictive arcade shooter for 1-4 players.

Greetings, cosmic conquerors!

A quirky pick-up-and-play arcade-style survival shooter, Cosmorons blasts players into an intergalactic adventure as sentient robots—Drudges—conquering the cosmos with outlandish weapons and hijinks through dynamic single and multiplayer co-op gameplay.

With a nod to retro sci-fi and arcade shooters, Cosmorons pays homage to the genres with a unique mix of gravity-defying gameplay, slapstick-tinged parody, and a classic low-poly-inspired aesthetic. As Drudges, players combat the cosmos one planet at a time, facing dangerous enemies, alien weaponry, and unceremonious death. Rushing to claim galaxies and ascend the ranks in pursuit of the 'Ultimate Glory'— a feat never before achieved by a Drudge—they soon realize the universe is a lot bigger than they thought… and it fights back!

Players are immersed in planet-specific gameplay as they slingshot around asteroids, grapple through gravitational fields, and engage in aerial and ground combat. The adventure spans across mini-challenges like time trial races and flying saucer battles, enhanced by elemental complexities like lava, stink nebula, lightning storms, and more. New areas bring big rewards, but drastically increase in difficulty.


"Beyond our co-development work, Blind Squirrel Games has been exploring how we can create compelling IP that best reflects our expertise and playful spirit," said Blind Squirrel Games Founder and CEO Brad Hendricks. "Cosmorons began as a passion project for our team, which over time has become an addictive game, paying homage to the arcade shooters we all know and love. We are currently pursuing the right publishing partner to help us bring this to market—in the meantime, we look forward to providing players an opportunity to experience a fun preview of Cosmorons soon."

Key Features:

  • SINGLE PLAYER / ONLINE CO-OP GAMEPLAY: Take on the universe as a conquest of one or play co-op with your fellow Drudges! Cosmorons offers both single player and co-op gameplay. As a single player, combat alien factions, complete thrilling challenges and collect planetary cores on your own. In co-op play, it's you and a team of fellow Drudges versus the universe! Online co-op means you and your friends can play from the comforts of your own home.
  • 360-DEGREE LEVELS: Navigate and fight in-and-around 360-degree planets, each with its own diverse gravitational system. Use your gravity-defying grapple to sling shot between asteroids and traverse unique planet surfaces shaped like no planets you've seen before! Swing among the mountainous regions of a ring planet, roam the underside of a giant disk, or explore the rotations of a donut-shaped world in the zany universe of Cosmorons.
  • ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES: No two planets are alike and in Cosmorons it's no different! Fully procedural Cosmoses keep gameplay fresh by combining randomized environments and curated levels so the universe seems as infinite as our own. Explore and conquer the limitless cosmos with its diverse alien flora and fauna, creating endless opportunities for new and exhilarating gameplay.
  • STACKABLE WEAPON SYSTEMS: Exciting new playstyles emerge with stackable weapon systems. Pick a main weapon and earn upgrades that morph it into a unique, ever-evolving instrument of destruction!
