“Superior brings an over-the-top roguelite experience to the superhero shooter genre and offers limitless combinations for players to wield fantastic powers,” said John Osvald, President of Games at Gala Games. “Everyone who has played Superior loves it! We are looking forward to bringing superhero-sized fun to Steam players before the end of the year.”
Start each mission unpowered and outgunned as you hunt down superheroes, steal their powers, and save the world. As you succeed in your mission, characters are upgraded with a branching skill tree, granting more powers and abilities to take on more heinous heroes. Armed with a powerful arsenal and your teammates, you advance through a sprawling hyper-stylized superhero universe with multiple locations and dynamically configured missions. With hundreds of unique superpowers, weapons, items, and abilities to upgrade and choose, Superior offers millions of combinations for extraordinary combat.
Superior is being developed by Drifter, the studio behind hit games: Robo Recall: Unplugged and Lies Beneath. The game is led by AAA developers with a pedigree from Gears of War, Doom, Halo and Apex Legends.
Features:
- Customizable Characters – Each character has their own play style, distinct advantages, and unique skill tree. All can be upgraded through play.
- Boosting Abilities – Every session players earn XP and unlock new skills and overdrive abilities, like Satellite death beams or stealth mode.
- Weapons – Start your run with lower-level weapons like pistols and a baseball bat. As you run and gun, pick up more powerful equipment such as grenade launchers, railguns and plasma blasters.
- Combat Powersets – Dozens of powers are in powersets for the player to unleash:
- Fire Powerset – burn enemies as you leap into the air on jets of fire, or launch fireballs
- Ice powerset – create ice sheets for speeding up allies and cause chilling damage through ice spikes
- Force powerset – use force fields that deal damage, create explosions and knock enemies back
- Monstrous Adversaries – Square off against 6 unique ex- superhero bosses, and an army of their henchmen. Each character unleashes their own brand of super-powered chaos, from force fields to fireballs.
- Dynamically Changing Experiences and Worlds – Players encounter new challenges and monstrosities in their mission as they fight through hours of dynamically changing timelines. Mission objectives, routes, and adversaries are also dynamically reconfigured, making no playthrough ever the same.
