Build your hero and defeat the Corruption on your own or in four-player co-op when it arrives later this year in Early Access

STOCKHOLM – March 30, 2022 – Developer Stitch Heads and publisher Raw Fury have teamed up to announce Superfuse, a new superhero-themed action RPG and the pairing’s most ambitious title yet! Hack and slash hordes of enemies in this comic book-inspired experience with a robust skill-tree system that lets you customize your powers and build your own superhero. Superfuse is available to wishlist on Steam and will launch into Steam Early Access later this year, with a full release expected in 2023.

Centuries ago, humanity escaped the dying Earth with technology funded by the corporate elite. As humans spread across the solar system, the wealthy lived in luxury, extending their lives and augmenting themselves with superpowers, becoming gods while the rest of humanity barely clung to life. Dissent grew but a new threat emerged in the form of shambling monsters called the Corruption. And so the corporate gods created the Enforcers to patrol the solar system and deal with the danger posed by the Corruption.

Superfuse features dynamic skill trees that let you choose a class and augment abilities to customize your Enforcer, with tons of loot to make exploring procedurally generated levels worth your while. Travel the solar system to futuristic cities, corrupted lands, and treacherous dungeons packed with lore, secrets and treasures. Play solo or in online drop-in/drop-out co-op for up to four players against hordes of abominations and powerful bosses, with a fully voiced campaign brought to life by talented voice actors like Eli Harris.
