Space Punks is a twin-stick shooter game by the Shadow Warrior team

Flying Wild Hog, the makers of Shadow Warrior, is teaming up with Jagex Companions, writer of RuneScape, for a wild area journey. Area Punks isn’t fairly like several recreation FWH is greatest identified for. Nonetheless, it seems to proceed the developer’s colourful humorousness. Area Punks is a twin-stick looter shooter, that includes an overhead digicam and plenty of baddies to blast. Oh, and you’ll play as a pig. Wait, does he fly?

The aforementioned companions in crime dropped a gameplay trailer together with the reveal. Area Punks is a co-op recreation for as much as 4 gamers, every commanding a novel area punk of their very own. The workforce is led by Duke, “the good-looking one.” He’s joined by “the loopy one,” a stout, purple hog-man (who doesn’t fly, sadly), and “the good one,” an alien with a penchant for explosives. The workforce is rounded off by “the scary one,” a lady with some very stabby tendrils popping out of her again.

Area Punks is a recreation that definitely invokes different space-faring properties. The trailer reveals influences starting from Guardians of the Galaxy and Borderlands. Area Punks makes use of an artwork model much like the latter, with thick, comedian book-style strains and brilliant colours. There’s additionally a goofy perspective all through the trailer, verging simply on the sting of perhaps attempting a bit too exhausting. However what do you anticipate with a trailer that makes use of Authentic Prankster by The Offspring as its background monitor? For the reason that trailer is marked as unlisted, I’ll depart it till it’s out official.

By your powers mixed

The motley crew of Area Punks use weaponry and quite a lot of skills. Within the trailer, we see the “loopy” pig do a cost that rams enemies down. The alien ally can drop a carpet of small mines, inflicting a large explosion. To be frank, all of it seems fairly enjoyable. The motion is scorching and loud, which isn’t stunning contemplating how hectic some battles have been within the Shadow Warrior video games.

Area Punks will enter Early Entry beginning on July 14. The sport could have an open beta interval, beginning this winter.
