Straightforward Set off Video games and Espresso Stain Publishing have introduced Huntdown: Overtime, a roguelite prequel to their 2020 run-and-gun motion sport Huntdown.
The sport instantly follows the origins of John Sawyer, one of many playable characters in Huntdown, as he is reworked right into a cyborg bounty hunter. Gamers combat by the sport’s cyberpunk legal underworld in procedurally generated runs, and improve John Sawyer with new cybernetics after every dying.
That reveal trailer and the sport at giant are deliberately going for a tone that Artwork Director Tommy Gustafsson says is impressed by “the badass spirits of ’80s cinema,” in response to a press launch. It would not seem to be Huntdown: Overtime will take itself too severely, and undoubtedly stands out from its predecessor and different Espresso Stain Publishing video games fairly a bit.
Espresso Stain is greatest identified for video games like Goat Simulator, Passable, and Valheim, however it did additionally publish the unique Huntdown when it launched. Espresso Stain acquired developer Straightforward Set off Video games in 2021, and the studio and Huntdown: Overtime survived the culling of Embracer Group-owned studios that has occurred over the past couple of years. That is certainly one of Espresso Stain’s first bulletins since spinning off from Embracer Group in December.
Huntdown: Overtime can be launched on Steam someday later this 12 months.
