Platinum Games’ robot-smashing action game Transformers: Devastation is out today, and it’s based more on the classic cartoon series than the boorish movie series. Thank the lord.
Below you can watch the retro-styled launch trailer, which somewhat resembles the series I used to watch on battered old VHS tapes as a kid. Whether it will actually be any good isn’t clear yet, but the early signs are decent and Platinum is responsible for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, so who knows.
”Defend the earth from the evil Decepticons in Transformers: Devastation using robot-to-vehicle attacks, slam downs, counterattacks, and infinite combos,” says the studio. ”Choose from five playable autobots, including Optimus Prime, Grimlock, and Bumblebee. Five difficulty levels combined with a deep customization system means hours of gameplay and replayability.”
The game unlocks on Steam in just under two hours.
