Building off of Artplant’s love for MOBAs and twin-stick shooters, the team based in Oslo, Norway, have announced Sky Fighter Legends, a competitive 4v4 twin-stick shooter for consoles and PC.
Perhaps drawing some inspiration from Fractured Space, among other games, Sky Fighter Legends sees teams of four take on enemy players and AI units in a quest to defeat the enemy team’s mothership. With the footage seen above running on an Xbox One, but no more information about a possible release date, anyone who enjoyed the competitive aspects in the recent Geometry Wars game might do well to keep their eye on this one.
Oslo Norway, 15th December 2016 Today we’re announcing Sky Fighter Legends, an online shoot’em up game for PC and consoles.
Sky Fighter Legends has the twin stick shoot ’em up experience players love, in a competitive 4 versus 4 arena. The players takes control over a range of different ships, each with their unique weapons, stats and abilities.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of shoot ’em ups”, says producer Jack Wulff. “When making one in Artplant, we did not want to make just a tribute to those fantastic games. We wanted to infuse it with all the great innovations competitive PC games have given gaming.”
The game captures the shoot ’em up experience with mobs to shoot down, powerups to collect, bosses to defeat, and adds a strategical layer with factories and control towers that the teams fight over.
You can team up with your friends or have the game matchmake you with players at your own skill level. By winning games you climb up the games league system. The game supports up to four player local multiplayer, allowing the players to compete against each other or take on the internet together.
“Adding PVP to the shoot ’em up genre opens up a huge bag of fun,” says designer Trond Vidar Johansen. “I play a lot MOBAs, and I’m thrilled by how making a shoot ‘em up game affects the experience. Dodging attacks becomes much more important, so you fly in formations and bullet block according to roles, taking team play to a whole new level.”
