Twin-stick shooters have been in the shadow of the more popular FPS genre, but you can’t deny they are always a source of very interesting, experimental games. Just in, we have a new upcoming game called Retrograde Arena from Freemergency Studio.
Check out the trailer below:
Here’s the official description:
Today, Freemergency Studio and Another Indie are pleased to announce Retrograde Arena, a stylish physics-based twin-stick shooter! In Retrograde, weapons don't kill, but the environment does! Retrograde Arena completely reimagines the twin-stick formula with dynamic movement enhanced by weapon recoil.
Guns aren’t just for attack, they are for speed, dodging, sharp corners, and brutal counter-attacks. Weapon recoil, bouncing beams, and environmental (deadly hazards) awareness make Retrograde Arena an entirely new kind of competitive multiplayer experience.
Dripping with gorgeous neon and thrumming with powerful synth-wave tunes, Retrograde Arena captures 80’s vibes and puts players in various battles for dominance!
Retrograde Arena is self-classified as a party game and is probably best played in a room full of friends. Besides the dazzling visuals, players will be able to cycle through three game modes, King’s Crown, Supersizer, and Last Man Standing. The game also promises more things to come, so this could just be the tip of the iceberg.
Though the game isn’t out yet, RA has managed to nab the Rising Star Award and Best Innovation Awards at the SEA Game Awards last year. Hopefully Freemergency will manage to stick the landing when this comes out.
Retrograde Arena lands on Steam Early Access this coming May 28.
