Publisher Retrovibe and developer Bad Bones have announced post-apocalyptic high-speed combat racer VergeWorld for PC (Steam). It will launch this fall. A demo will be available on June 13.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
High-speed canyon massacre: fly, crash, and adapt!
VergeWorld is a retro-fuelled fast-paced roguelite combat racer in which you fly through procedurally generated canyons, shoot enemies, gather resources, and complete challenges.
Become the Rebel
In the distant future, on the inhospitable planet Gh2040-B, mankind engages in one thing it knows best – war. You are Nix, a rebellious member of the ruling class who wants to trigger a change in the Kingdom. Hidden behind a mask, you steal an experimental airship called Icarus and run to the edges of civilization to find and join the Revolt.
Retro Meets Modern Action
Destroy your enemies, fly low to boost your engines, and reach Frontier outposts to refuel, upgrade your airship, and find the next challenge. In VergeWorld high replayability mixes with the nostalgic retro feeling of PSX-era 3D visuals, pixel art story screens, 16-bit tunes, and a synthwave soundtrack.
