Coming soon for PC, Mac, Wii U, PS Vita and Xbox One
From Super Icon, the developers of hit titles such as Life of Pixel and Vektor Wars, comes BEST BUDS VS. BAD GUYS, an ultra-explosive arcade run ’n’ gun featuring two best buds, a lot of heavy weaponry, and bucket-loads of evil bad guys to destroy.
Sometimes the ideas for the most addictive games don’t come from traditional sources, like brainstorming meetings of development teams. Instead, they just pop up organically. That is the case with the upcoming arcade style run ’n’ gun shooter, Best Buds vs. Bad Guys, the brainchild of a game designer and his son, Lucas. They are each other’s “best buds”, and wondered how much fun it would be to base a game around teamwork to battle bad guys in a virtual world. A game about good over evil and about friendship, overcoming difficulties, and kicking bad-guy butt!
“We are really proud of Best Buds vs. Bad Guys, a game we really wanted to make together,” commented Richard Hill-Whittall. “Fast action and addictive game play, crazy weapons, loads of bad guys and massive explosions! We’re really trying our best to make something very special…”
Best Buds vs. Bad Guys is a feature packed arcade experience. With over 100 different enemies to fight, a wide selection of seriously OTT weapons and power-ups, 11 different worlds full of detail and animation, and a LOT of secrets and surprises!
