Polygod shoots to release this August

An Intriguing and stylish, rogue-like shooter.

Indie Studio, Krafted Games, have today announced that its much anticipated minimalist, rogue-like, randomly generated FPS, Polygod which features a brutal difficultly curve, epic boss fights with area-shooter style online multiplayer/co-op and local multiplayer modes, will be launching worldwide for Xbox One, PC on Steam and of course Nintendo Switch on August 17th, 2018. For those who don’t know, Polygod had already been in Early Access since later 2016 but has already attracted a legion of fans with its distinctive, bold visual style and solid gameplay mechanic. However, now poised for launch on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and of course the full launch on Steam for PC, Polygod is ready to challenge even the most refined FPS guru. Additionally, Dominic Obojkovits, co-founder, Lead Designer and Programmer at Krafted Games had this to say about the launch of Polygod.

“It’s been a long road to release and we’re super excited to finally get the game into the hands of our community.We firmly believe PolyGod offers a unique take on the FPS genre and are confident that our ideas and game direction will strike a chord with the hardcore fans of the genre worldwide”.

Polygod is also set to include a variety of features at launch, the likes of which will include:

▪ Infinite level possibilities – maps are randomly generated and seeded providing a tonne of replayability, but then shareable among friends in order to encourage competition with full leaderboard support
▪ Brutal Difficulty curve – Only the most skilled gamers will ascend to Godhood…
▪ Online co-op and versus multiplayer – Allows for competitive fun to be had among friends featuring daily leaderboards. (Versus multiplayer not available on Switch.)
▪ Skill based gameplay – Built upon a principle that if one lacks skill, it can be substituted for strategy and vice versa. Eg. unskilled strategic players will be just as good as skilful nonstrategic players.
▪ Unique ‘Blessings’ based weapon customisation system – Combine and stack ‘blessings’ to create hundreds of thousands of unique weapons, blessings combine to give a high level of depth. Deep understanding is required to fully utilise the blessing system which in turn gives a high replay value
▪ Classic FPS controls – POLYGOD’s controls are reminiscent of Quake 3 and the original Doom, bringing a classic gameplay vibe back having been absent since the 90’s!
▪ Gyroscopic controls – Nintendo Switch version only
▪ Super fast paced and addictive – requires hundreds of hours to master, a speed-runner/hardcore gamer’s dream
