PAX West 2016: New Blood Interactive To Debut New Games
New Blood Interactive are set to debut three new games at PAX 2016, with each of the Indie Games set to be released at different points throughout 2017. The developers have will be at the super red booth 6010 on the 6th floor, and have said that “photos with Harambe via a cardboard cutout will also be available in the booth because his memory lives on in all our hearts.”
The first game that New Blood Interactive is set to debut is Duck, a first person shooter inspired by Quake, Heretic, Hexen, Half-Life and Redneck Rampage. Developed by David Szymanski and featuring a soundtrack by metal music mastermind Andrew Hulshult (Brutal DOOM, Rise of the Triad), DUSK transports players into and underneath the creepy backwoods of the American Northeast where you wake up hanging on a meat hook in a barn and must escape using any means necessary (dual sickles in this case). Players will get to shoot their way out of the dark and survive until dawn if you can in the main campaign, using an awesome variety of weaponry including everything from dual wielded 1887 shotguns to saw blades, rifles, swords and crossbows and the very necessary grenade launcher.
Second up is Tonight We Riot, a side scrolling brawler that pushes players into the role of an everyday urban revolutionary fighting against the oppression of a global, out-of-control capitalist hierarchy where the few wealthy elite dominate and oppress everything around them. As a key instigator behind the noble uprising, players direct a growing horde as you fight, smash and brawl your way through the Streets of Change using whatever you can as a weapon. Namely bricks, molotov cocktails and whatever else you can get your hands on. Obtain the trust and loyalty of your fellow workers and liberate them from tyranny. Once you gain the power of the many, cooperate to retaliate against the city’s authoritarian regime and regain control over your life and liberty.
Last up is Lazer Type VR, a game that puts players in the center of a futuristic landscape must accurately type a series of words coming at them in order to destroy them with lasers or be destroyed themselves. Test your typing skills to the max in a variety of modes to obtain the highest of high scores – including eliminating your friends in an epic 1v1 combat mode as you and an opponent are placed into a futuristic arena and battle it out in a pong-style word typing game.
Fans looking to get some bitchin’ New Bloods Interactive swag can hit up booth 6010 at PAX West all weekend for hands on time with all three games and some sweet VR pink eye. (I joke. I hope.)
