Excalibur is expanding its publishing catalogue with the Combat action shooter, Space Overlords http://store.steampowered.com/app/407830 for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 & PSVita. With the PC version arriving in March and the PS4 in late April/ early May. The Space Overlords are a ruthless ancient life form with immeasurable powers – the object of the game is to set out on a mission of retaliation over your evil Kesedihan to wipe out all of his kin.
The player will play one of four different Space Overlords with the mission of settling old scores against Kesedihan for her part in your and your brother’s incarceration. You must take possession of planets colonised by this evil warlord who has ravaged all resources to feed her dominance. Waking up after years of captivity, your path of annihilation is about to begin.
The initial launch will feature seven galaxies in Single-Player mode with three single player modes to choose from – Main Gameplay, Co-operative and Gameplay Loop. Each galaxy will have eight planets and each section features atmospheric cut scenes. The multi-player portion of the game has four game modes and focuses on pitting the players against each other:
THE CONQUER GALAXIES SYSTEM
Space Overlords has a built in level editor in which players can create levels to play and share with other players. Those user created levels will be showed on the COMMUNITY tab on the main UI of the game. Each player will have his/her created planets associated with their account. Other players can try to beat those planets in SINGLE PLAYER MODE and they can rate each planet after playing it on the global leader board.
THE COMBO SYSTEM
The combos in Space Overlords are long and awesome! For each building, inhabitant or ship destroyed there will be combo points awarded (+50) for each 100 hits e.g.: 300 hits = 300 + 150 points. The MAX COMBO indicator will tell the player the maximum amount of consecutive hits he/she has achieved on the current game.
