Independent gaming studio Fiveamp has lifted the veil on their latest project, NIMRODS, a new roguelite game that promises to transport players to an intergalactic adventure.
NIMRODS combine elements of gun-crafting, survival action, and reverse bullet hell. The highly anticipated game immerses players in a chaotic universe filled with interstellar conflict. Gamers will become members of the elite space hunters group, NIMRODS, and fight for survival in a 2D pixel-art style world.
NIMRODS [is] an elite guild of space hunters who traverse the cosmos, hunting dangerous aliens for bounty and glory,
the developers said. The upcoming game will release via Early Access within the second half of 2023, Fiveamp said. It will be available on PC and Mac devices, the developers added.
NIMRODs' diverse cast of heroes offers players eight distinct playable characters, each with unique abilities and load-outs. The game also contains at least 16 gun types, 354 attachments, and "157 trillion gun builds," Fiveamp said. Gamers can unlock new characters and weapon upgrades as they progress through every level.
At the end of each mission, your hard-earned weapon will be extracted and returned to base,
developers said. Once their weapons reach their base, players can "study and research" them to "uncover new ones, attachments, armor, and more.
In NIMRODS, players will need to explore five alien planets. On each planet, different challenges and secrets await them. While Fiveamp has yet to disclose more details about NIMRODS, the Austin-based studio has shared some stills and gameplay previews.
Developers have given members of the press and content creators a sneak peek into the game's progress through gameplay previews. The videos, in total, showed around 10 minutes of separate gameplay. It also included moments where players could build their weapons./ ###
