Fantastic news for fans of the co-op shooter genre!
SWAP/MEAT, an upcoming multiplayer shooter, will welcome players to experience its high-octane gameplay. Developers from One More Game (OMG) announced that they are gearing up for a new playtest for SWAP/MEAT.
"That's right, Meat Fam. We goin' live again, and want to play with you," developers wrote on Steam. "This update is all about more. More content, more progression, more MEAT," they added.
The playtest event started on Friday, September 6. It will end on September 10 at 12 p.m. Both will follow Pacific Time schedules. The upcoming playtest came just weeks after OMG hosted a successful initial playtest in July.
According to developers, they have been busy incorporating player feedback. In turn, players can expect a "savory recipe" of improvements. These include visual upgrades, bug fixes, and refined systems. They even described it as a list of changes as 'extensive as a Cheesecake Factory menu.'
Unveiled a year ago, SWAP/MEAT is a roguelite third-person shooter with a unique twist.
Players assume the role of "Meat Scientists" for Rangus Meats, a multi-galactic corporation seeking the ultimate sustainable meat source. Teams of 1-4 players raid bizarre planets and battle hostile alien lifeforms. Their objective: "swapping meat" to acquire new abilities.
By stealing body parts from fallen enemies, players can augment their own characters with powerful and often grotesque mutations. As a result, they can have dynamic playstyle shifts on the fly.
The ultimate goal is to extract "meat cores" from three planets and survive a final showdown against a formidable boss.
