The Surge was known for its hardcore combat system that emphasized 1 vs 1 combat and targeting specific limbs for removal. The Surge 2 builds on the success of its predecessor by offering more weapons, equipment, and skills to compliment its hardcore combat system. Players of all skill levels will be able to enjoy the game thanks to optional new mechanics like directional parry indicators.
Players will explore Jericho City after surviving the Flight 221. Jericho City is full of dangers, from various military outfits to nanomachine monsters. The city offers larger levels compared to the first game and includes more vertical spaces to explore.

While the game has initial funding in place, Rockfish Games is looking to expand the scope by securing extra funding on Kickstarter. They are looking to raise at least €450,000. The extra money will also ensure Rockfish Games stays firmly in control of the game, likely allowing them to select a more hands off publisher or self publish. The Kickstarter campaign will kick off on 9th of September.

LIONBITE GAMES’ RAIN OF REFLECTIONS LAUNCHES SEPTEMBER
20 ON STEAM
Explore a future dystopian world of complex characters,
choices and turn-based strategy encounters in this ambitious new adventure game
STOCKHOLM
— Aug. 19, 2019 — Indie
studio Lionbite Games has revealed that the story-driven adventure game Rain of Reflectionswill launch on
Windows PC via Steam on Sept. 20, 2019. Delve into a richly layered dystopian
world, survive nail-biting turn-based strategy encounters, hack systems to open
new ways forward, meet a cast of strong-willed characters and make decisions
that will shape the future.
Rain of
Reflections: Chapter 1 – titled “Set
Free” – follows Wilona, a scientist trying to cure a global epidemic of
infertility. When Wilona begins to have doubts about the morality of the
experiments she’s running on the world’s lastborn child, she sets off a
life-or-death quest across the pristine towers of the wealthy elite, the
flooded slums of the underclass, and the cold, sterile halls of the state’s
laboratories.
Throughout your journey, you’ll engage in
turn-based strategy encounters in destructible environments with a range of
tactical options, including stealth, dialogue and combat. You’ll also breach
computer systems, crack locks and eavesdrop on radio communications through a
variety of hacking puzzles.
Your words matter, too. Dialogue choices can
convince, defuse or outsmart other characters in a variety of fully voiced
conversations, which may have serious consequences down the road. They can also
influence the motivation of your allies and enemies in combat, helping to
change the tide of battle at a critical moment.
Rain of
Reflections’ ambitious story will
feature multiple chapters, each a full tale in itself, adding layers to
the world while showing completely new and fresh areas and gameplay
through different perspectives. Chapter 2 – “Open Eye” – will follow a deadbeat
private investigator in a cyberpunk district called The Cluster, while Chapter
3 – “Undercurrent” – will shed light on the Infrared underground resistance
movement and its front figure, Imra.
Lionbite Games is an indie game development
studio in Stockholm, Sweden. The small but ambitious team consists of veteran
developers and new talents alike, led by former games journalist Victor
Lionhead, focused on creating quality-over-quantity video game experiences for
