PQube has teamed up with TrickJump Games to release its cyberpunk-styled action rogue-lite ArcRunner on Nintendo Switch.
With the chance to engage in intense gunfights using looted cybernetic weaponry, you must traverse The Arc in your efforts to reset an evil rogue AI.
Set to the pulse of an electrifying synth-wave soundtrack, you must work your way through each zone strategically – making crucial decisions about augmented upgrades that shape your tactical prowess.
The nanites that you collect from every run can be used to unlock powerful meta-progression upgrades, while you can choose to brave the challenges solo or to fight the robotic hordes alongside up to two friends.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Clash in Adrenaline-fuelled Gunfights With A Diverse Arsenal of Looted Weapons: Experiment with an array of cybernetic firearms as you adapt your tactics continuously to confront the relentless and ever-evolving robotic threat.
- Play Solo or With Friends to Annihilate AI Together: Embark on the mission solo or unite with up to two friends for a cooperative assault on rogue AI… Strategize and coordinate your tactics seamlessly to navigate the challenges within ‘The Arc’ and emerge victorious.
- Navigate Stunning Cyberpunk-inspired Towns and Cityscapes: Battle through multiple zones, each with uniquely generated levels, from the dystopian cyberpunk metropolis of The City to the luxurious Eden Heights.
- Augment and Adapt To The Challenge: Select augmented upgrades between levels to fortify your capabilities after conquering each zone. Be careful, as the loss of life results in the forfeiture of all your hard-earned augments!
- Earn Nanites: Earn nanites during each run and purchase powerful meta-progression upgrades in the cryo-chamber.
- Confront Formidable Adversaries: Engage in tense battles against mighty rogue bosses. These towering foes, equipped with devastating weaponry and unique abilities, will put your combat skills to the ultimate test.
- Electrifying Synthwave Soundtrack Drives The Chaos: Skilfully obliterate rogue machines while a head-nodding syntonic backing track intensifies the thrill of the battle.
ArcRunner will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 18 April 2024.
