Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment and developer Artificier have revealed Homicidal All-Stars, a single-player, turn-based strategy game set in a dystopian future where convicts and citizens alike compete to survive on a brutal reality game show. Featuring unique heroes and villains in a deep tactical experience complete with over-the-top violence, the game will launch on PC via Steam and GOG.com later this year. Check out the reveal trailer below:
In a future society rife with extreme income inequality, greedy corporations, climate change, civil unrest and war, Homicidal All-Stars is quite popular. Contestants will need to survive deadly urban areas littered with lethal traps, puzzles and killers who are armed to the teeth.
Each episode of Homicidal All-Stars brings an infernal new obstacle course with a distinct theme and challenges. Dodge and disarm traps, survive ambushes, look around for helpful sponsorship packages and of course, keep your guard up in case there are any nasty surprises from the show’s director. If you manage to survive, you’ll head backstage to rest, record a confessional, chat with fellow challengers and then level up and customise your loadout for the next night of carnage.
Here are some of the key features:
- Challenging Strategy Gameplay: Dive into a full campaign featuring deep tactical combat mechanics that will test your skills across a variety of hand-crafted levels.
- Create Your Perfect Squad: Build your team from a range of classes with their own skill trees, and customize their loadouts with powerful weapons, implants and utilities to take on each episode’s challenges. Level up your characters and discover unique strategic synergies to survive.
- Face Ruthless Enemy Rivals: An array of vicious killersoutfitted with heavy weapons and cutting-edge cyborg augments will force you to adapt your tactics to emerge victorious.
- Survive a Spectacle of Gore & Violence: The heartless, bloodthirsty masses love watching players get dismembered by sadistic traps, environments and ambushes. Unleash bloody finishing moves and fiery explosions to dazzle the audience as they cheer on, but watch out for special surprises from the director, who delights in breaking the rules to keep the crowd hooked.
- Become a Legend: Defying death through skillful play will make you a star. Grow your fame, gain new fans, and sign sponsorship deals to unlock bonus rewards to help you win the show.
- A Classic Revenge Story: Experience over-the-top, American Gladiators-style action and attitude inspired by sci-fi epics like RoboCop, Escape from New York and The Running Man.
- Twitch Audience Integration: Twitch streamers can invite their viewers to join the carnage, voting in real time on events they’d like to see in game. Will their beloved fans help them out in a pinch and keep the hype train rolling? Or will they choose violence and send the streamer to their doom?
