Super Mutant Alien Assault Lands On PC, PS4, Xbox One
Developer Cybernate and publisher Surprise Attack Games have officially released the random arcade platform shooter Super Mutant Alien Assault, available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Taking inspiration from unforgiving arcade classics and Vlambeer’s Super Crate Box, Super Mutant Alien Assault is a dance with death across randomised single-screen levels where dodging is as just important as shooting if you hope to survive.
Played solo the game is frantic, but with local co-op, a second robot enters the fray, taking the action to a level of mayhem. Featuring a wide range of unlockable weapons, explosives, sidearms, special abilities, perks and defence moves, each single-screen level is a randomised combination of layout, vending machines, enemies and objectives, requiring ever-increasing levels of mastery. The more you unlock, the more the game changes.
Super Mutant Alien Assault is set to have a number of features, including:
Rapid fire levels give you no rest as hordes of enemies arrive, hell-bent on your destruction. Clear the objective quickly and be sure to kill each enemy before it has the chance to mutate into a bigger, nastier version of itself. Take a tiny breather and then it’s on to the next room.
In the tight confines of the space freighter, standing still is not an option. Your ability to dodge around enemies is as important as your aim. Survival requires quick thinking and rapid reflexes and a true master of the dance is a beautiful thing to behold.
Each single screen level is randomised, drawing on a pool of platform layouts, objective types and enemies as well as which vending machines will be present. You’ll never know which weapons or grenades will spawn in the vending machines whilst crate drops containing special abilities, sidearms, perks and defense moves are also random, adding further to the mind-boggling possible combinations.
You can find Super Mutant Alien Assault on Steam, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
