Climate change apocalypse tactical turn-based strategy game Highwater will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on March 14, publisher Rogue Games and developer Demagog Studio announced.
Highwater first launched for iOS via App Store and Android via Google Play for Netflix subscribers on March 14.
Here is an overview of the game, via Rogue Games:
Winner of the Gold NYX Awards for Best PC Visual Art and Best PC Indie, Highwater is set after a climate catastrophe has flooded the entire world. Join Nikos and his friends as they attempt to sneak onto a rumored rocket to Mars while exploring nautical environments, battling insurgents, and cruising upon the high seas with Highwater Pirate Radio’s original music soothfully playing in the background. In Highwater, experiencing the small wins, hard breaks and odd obstacles of this weird journey is more important and interesting than the hopeful destination.
The Earth may be drowning, but it sure looks good. Admire breathtaking waterways before stepping foot on potentially dangerous new lands. Engage enemies with classic turn-based combat and use items scattered around the environment like oars, harpoons, fishing rods, shopping carts and more to secure the upperhand. After the rascals have been routed, hang out with an unconventional but hilarious cast of characters while roasting rat kebabs over a burning oil drum and soaking in the sights.
A new life awaits! Escape the brutally damaged dry region of War Zone, infiltrate the impenetrable border of the exclusionary ultra-rich city of Alphaville, and reach a new horizon before it’s too late.
