We've seen several throwback arena FPS games pop up lately, and Wickland looks like a particularly interesting one. Mainly because you can play as a gorilla.
In developer Mad Ram's game, which will be released through Steam Early Access on November 15, you play as several different deadly beasts, replacing rocket launchers and machine guns with crossbows and spells.
With its medieval setting and cast of gribbly monsters, there's a definite Hexen feel to the game, despite the strict multiplayer focus. Eight unique characters each have their own skills, from a bat that throws globs of acid to an ape with a shotgun. Yes.
Planned features include an offline bot mode, an improved spectator mode, five more maps and multiple language support. There's more on Wickland over on the official website.
