It’s been a long time coming since I first previewed Heavy Rockets, but the fun, neon-infused, game of fast rockets shooting and racing each other finally has a global release date. April 21st will be the date when everyone can explore the glowing neon catacombs for themselves – and by explore I mean race though at high speeds, or engage in explosive deathmatches with other players.
The game has been in soft launch for a few months now, which is notable in large part because it’s a rare example of a paid game that tried a soft launch. I’ve seen this with only a few other games, but I hope that it went well enough for developer Majasalmi. The game’s been in the works for several years now, and it’s finally coming to fruition, and I’m excited to see the final version, particularly as it’s going to boast online multiplayer via Game Center and Facebook.
