Colorful rail shooter Futuridium jets to PS4, Vita next week
Stylishly fast shooter Futuridium EP Deluxe will launch next week on PlayStation 4 and Vita. Now slated to launch on Tuesday, September 30, the game will cost $12.49 and will launch at a 20 percent discount ($9.99) for PlayStation Plus members. The game is also Cross-Buy compatible, so those with both systems will only need to pay for it once. Futuridium EP Deluxe locks players in 50 forward-scrolling levels, blasting obstacles to reach five bosses and eventually unlock extra modes. It comes by way of Italian independent developer MixedBag, which first offered a free PC and Mac version of the game in June of last year. The studio confirmed plans to bring the brightly-colored game to PlayStation systems in February. Futuridium EP Deluxe will be compatible with PlayStation TV when it launches on October 14. If you're curious, you can catch a launch trailer for the game after the break. [Image: MixedBag]
'Futuridium' is a free technicolor shooter for Mac and PC
Futuridium is a free, ultra-stylish shooter for PC and Mac from Italian indie development studio MixedBag, in which frugal space pilots must use their reflexes, wits and piloting abilities to destroy a series of massive alien capital ships. The player's jet travels at a constant velocity, somewhat like a 3D version of Defender. Destroying blue cubes increases a score multiplier, with chains of enemies and cubes destroyed in sequence yielding an additional bonus in points. Once all the blue cubes have been destroyed, the capital ship's yellow power core is exposed and vulnerable to blastin'. The game is also headed to Linux and iOS, in free and paid flavors respectively, sometime within the next few weeks and presumably at an uncontrollable, automatic velocity.
