KITE Leaves Steam Early Access March 7
Let’s go fly a kite, up to the highest—-wait, this game isn’t about that kind of kite? It’s a video game term that mainly applies to shooters? OK. The act of “kiting” in a video game is when you move away from your target while simultaneously firing at them. The technique was pioneered as a strategy in the arcade classic Robotron 2084, the first game with twin-stick controls that made kiting possible. In a game named KITE, you’ll expectedly be doing a lot of kiting. As Mags – a well-equipped H.O.R.D. (Human-Operated Remote Droid) pilot – your mission is to preserve the blanket of peace surrounding the world. To do so, you’ll engage in the gunplay-ballet known as ‘kiting’ – dashing away from mobs of rebellious bots while blasting through lush, destructible environments. Mastering the fast-paced combat style means the difference between being a survivor … and becoming scrap! With a variety of swarming enemies such as Charge Bots, Slice Bots, Bouncing Betties, Crab Bots, Hyper Turrets and Prox Mines
