Sony Computer Entertainment announced a number of new indie titles for PlayStation platforms during PlayStation Experience in Las Vegas.
Skytorn
Noel Berry is bringing his upcoming game Skytorn to PlayStation 4. It’s in development alongside the developers of TowerFall and Night in the Woods at the Vancouver-based IndieHouse.
Skytorn is a procedurally generated adventure / exploration game set in the skies of a post-apocalyptic world.
“Our goal is to make a platform adventure game that is focused very heavily on combat, control, and exploration,” Berry said on the PlayStation Blog. “We want the world to feel alive and dangerous, and let the player traverse it in interesting ways. Every time you play, you’ll discover a whole new island in the sky, with new dungeons and challenges to explore and overcome.”
Players take on the role of a traveler who uses her shovel to dig through terrain and fight off creatures. As you roam the island, you’ll discover new “enchantments” (upgrades) for your shovel, which wil help you better defeat enemies.
