The Quadsphere has been working on the latest game in their Icarus-X ($2.99) series of shoot ’em ups, and you can expect it this spring with Icarus-X: Tides of Fire, coming to iPad and desktop this spring. They’re promising this one will have an influence from roguelikes and dungeon-crawlers, as there’s going to be ship leveling, loot to collect, skill trees to upgrade and even permadeath modes to try and tackle. Um, in a bullet hell shmup? Maybe I’ll stick with casual mode without permadeath. Check out a trailer for the game, available with 60 frames per second video, so watch it on a device that supports it if possible:
The game’s going to have 15 stats to min-max, including the size of your hitbox, with 4 different difficulties, 3 ship classes, and enemy waves that are randomly-generated. The game will launch for desktop and iPad at first this spring, with a universal version planned at some point down the road. The mix of shmup and RPG elements sounds interesting, so keep an eye on the forum thread for the game.
I couldn't help but read the headline as "New Crossyroad Cross Dresser Character." Whoops brain!
Love how their implanting current events in social media into their game 👌
Feel like someone is going to mention Ireland isn't part of the UK, most likely the Irish.
I feel like you just did.
Should have made the llamas side by side.
Also on every death, switch which llama you control.
Why "celebrate " the passage of a bill that the public wasn't allowed to read?
