tinyBuild Smuggles Cartel Tycoon: Uncut Earliest Access Onto PC Today

Exclusive Content for Earliest Adopter Drug Lords, Full Launch Set for 2021

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA — 29 Oct., 2020 — Cartel Tycoon, the story-driven drug empire business simulator from publisher tinyBuild and developer Moon Moose, smuggles money and power onto PC today with the surprise release of Cartel Tycoon: Uncut Earliest Access.

Available via direct purchase and download from carteltycoon.com, Cartel Tycoon: Uncut Earliest Access offers dozens of hours of polished alpha gameplay in a feature-rich experience. tinyBuild makes an offer few can refuse, including an exclusive starter kingpin, Hotel building skin, and cartel logo that won’t be available to soldiers who join the familia in Steam Early Access or the 1.0 release.

For the shrewd and cunning, the ‘80s drug trade offered untold wealth—money practically grew from coca and cannabis. Yet with profit came peril, and fatal violence was inevitable. Drug empires rose atop blood and fire. Strong, successful kingpins turned into dead ones.

Push the boundaries of danger and power as a drug baron in the 1980s. Produce cocaine, marijuana, and more while researching new tiers of workshops and warehouses to boost profit margins. Conquer a vast fictional continent and claim each region by battling local cartels and authorities, installing a corrupt mayor, and more. Manage lieutenants with active and passive bonuses, sending them to run money, hide product, rob banks, and even assassinate fellow lieutenants.

Defying genres with a diverse array of inspirations, including Frostpunk, Tropico, and Reigns, Cartel Tycoon puts players in situations where death is inevitable, guided by historical accounts and economic research of real cartels. When the kingpin dies—whether to sheer military force, profit grinding to a halt, or a bullet from a rival—select a lieutenant to take their place and prepare to survive as the cycle of violent escalation begins anew.

“Our team has heard the demand loud and clear—our passionate community wants to play Cartel Tycoon as soon as possible,” said game designer Rita Shapovalova. “More than 50,000 people have downloaded our free Cartel Tycoon demo on Steam. With Uncut Earliest Access, our biggest supporters can take the keys to their drug kingdom a little early while we continue working hard to make sure our Steam Early Access release is nothing short of full beta.”

Cartel Tycoon: Uncut Earliest Access is available now for US $19.99 direct from carteltycoon.com, with Steam Early Access release planned for Early 2021 and GOG launch set for 2021. Major content updates to all versions will lead up to the full 1.0 launch in 2021. Text translations in English and Russian are available now, with French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean planned for later release.

Prepare to break bad with Moon Moose and tinyBuild on the official Cartel Tycoon website and share war stories with fellow kingpins in the Cartel Tycoon Discord. Follow tinyBuild on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord.

I’ll be back!

Bucharest, Romania – October 29th, 2020 – Games developer Scorpius Games is proud to announce that its rogue-lite first person shooter PositronX has moved out of Steam Early Access into a full commercial launch on Steam and GoG for £17.99 / $19.99 / €19,99 with a 10% discount. PositronX focuses on strategic fast paced combat, creative time and space mechanics, detailed graphics and phoenix-like rising from the ashes as players blast their way through the always new algorithmically generated levels against the killer Machine Swarms.

The key to success in PositronX revolves around adapting to your environment. Rooms are algorithmically generated from a pool of predefined constructs and since death is permanent every play through presents a new challenge. With no environmental recall to assist you, players will always face a brand new industrial dungeon filled with Machine Swarm waiting around every corner with lethal ambition. Dying comes easy but with each fall, you can rise again stronger using scores of new loot and implants to your benefit. These implants bestow abilities that will allow players to turn the fire fight to their favour through altering time and space, summoning minions to your cause, shrinking in size, deploying decoys among others. These are all in addition to the base techniques each character has such as wall running to outmanoeuvre their opponents, the ability to slow down, stop or rewind time, to soar above their enemies, use telekinesis to stop bullets inflight before flinging them back at your adversaries and even to  teleport across vast spaces in an instant. 

Choose between seven different playable characters with their own unique abilities and load out with a cache of weapons, all upgradable, as you shoot your way through every stage. PositronX’s movement mechanics and retro industrial aesthetic compliment the perfect combination of 90s shooter gameplay akin to Quake 2 & Descent with a roguelite design to form a highly combative, addictively re-playable experience. 

PositronX leaves Early Access fully loaded with added extras: A new stage will be added at launch in addition to the current three stages. Three new characters join the current roster: Quark – a silent but deadly assassin, Neutron – a devastating damage dealer and Graviton – a master of Time. The arsenal at your disposal has increased with two new weapons to unload on your opponents: the Core gun and Time gun. All of this will be needed and more as you finally come face to face with the game’s big final boss – The Machina.
 
”After 2 years of listening to the invaluable feedback from our fanbase we are finally launching PositronX,” said the Scorpius Crew. “The game has come such a long way, galvanizing it’s blend of a fluid fast paced first person shooter mixed with the addictive replayability of a rogue lite to create a modern shooter experience with a relatable nostalgic undertone. We hope players enjoy playing it as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.”
