Californian indie developer Pelfast has spilled the beans on their upcoming PSN title Comet Crash, due in October, a game for 1 to 3 players with 28 ”action-packed levels.”
It’s a mix of traditional tower defence gameplay, but now you can take the offensive yourself and go for their fortifications in ”seriously huge” battles, with armies up to 1000 units each player.
”Comet Crash has turned the tower defence genre on its head with completely new and exciting gameplay,” posted Pelfest producer John Bates, on the US PlayStation.Blog.
”Tower defence fans appreciate the simple yet addictive experience of building towers to defend from enemy waves. On the other hand, we at Pelfast love the thrill of a massive offensive rush to demolish an enemy base. We designed Comet Crash with both of these elements in mind,” he said. Effectively they inject some normal RTS gameplay.
Comet Crash is being developed for the PlayStation Network and will be out in October.
”In Comet Crash, your first priority is to defend your territory from an assortment of enemy invaders. For those of you new to tower defence gameplay, this involves strategically placing various weapon towers to destroy enemy units before they get to your base.”
As for attacking…
”As we mentioned earlier, one of Comet Crash’s defining characteristics is actively bringing the fight to the enemies own front door — you must devise an offensive strategy. Comet Crash lets you choose between a variety of offensive units to create your own army,” said Bates.
”We cranked up the army cap to 1000 individual units per player for some seriously huge attacks. If all else fails, bust through the enemy defences by destroying their towers. Choose to use simple brute force, devise a crafty offensive strategy, initiate land grabs, or use a combination of tactics to win.”
Its campaign mode supports 1-3 players with 28 levels. To test your tower defence mettle against friends you need to choose Battle mode which supports 2-4 players offline.
