JUGGERNAUT GAMES’ STARCRAWLERS NEARS KICKSTARTER GOAL; ONE WEEK INTO CAMPAIGN, COMMUNITY SHOWS STRONG SUPPORT

Lead a crew of freelance robotic adventurers and navigate corporate intrigue on the fringes of space in a classic sci-fi themed dungeon crawl

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 19, 2014 – Juggernaut Games, an independent games publisher, is happy to announce the company is more than half-way to meeting its Kickstarter Campaign goal to fund the development of its first-person, dungeon-crawling RPG StarCrawlers for PC, Mac and Linux. A twist on the classic dungeon-crawler, StarCrawlers has a sci-fi theme and is set in dynamic and interactive abandoned spaceship environments and futuristic corporate facilities. Players must make tactical decisions to keep their team alive while unraveling corporate conspiracies.

The first game under development by Juggernaut, StarCrawlers has also been selected to advance through Steam Greenlight based on the strong community interest shown in only nine days. Well-known composer Ben Prunty has signed on to provide the atmospheric soundtrack.

“Juggernaut is so thrilled and thankful for the amazing support StarCrawlers is receiving from the Kickstarter community,” said Asa Enochs, Game Designer, Juggernaut Games. “We are eager to meet our funding goal and encourage everyone to check out our game on Kickstarter. We have been blown-away by the enthusiasm of our community, and we can’t wait to implement their ideas into the game to make it even better.”

In StarCrawlers, players run a crew of talented “fixers” such as hackers, cyber ninjas, soldiers, and more, taking shady jobs on the fringes of space. Whatever their particular skillset – hacking, smuggling or advanced ass-kicking – StarCrawlers are individuals who specialize in taking jobs others won’t.

Juggernaut has designed an interactive and dynamic environment that changes based on how players explore, fight foes, and resolve encounters. Teams venture into procedurally-generated sci-fi worlds full of lethal enemies, unexpected events, and deadly traps. As play progresses through the technologic dungeons, players face tougher and tougher enemies and are tested against elite bosses, requiring strategic decisions about team building, combat specialization and gear.

Features:

An atmospheric soundtrack by composer Ben Prunty
Classic first person dungeon crawling exploration
Procedurally-generated environments with random encounters, traps and enemies
Deep character customization with abilities that can be modeled and changed
Randomly generated and upgradeable loot
PC, Mac, and Linux support

As well as the abundance of trailers that Namco Bandai releases online, the company also posts short commercials for their upcoming shonen brawler “J-Stars Victory Vs” and even though these videos are quite short I can imagine people still love seeing them because I know I do! The latest video to be posted is actually the third commercial for the game and it centres around three shonen favourites; Goku from “Dragon Ball Z”, Gon Freecss from “HunterXHunter” and Seiya the titular character from “Saint Seiya”.

Despite the video only going for a short 15 seconds, it does get its chance to show us the brilliant special “ken” movies of these three characters as well as a sneaky appearance by Bobobo-bo at the very end. Goku’s “King Kai Fist”, Gon’s “Jajan Fist” and Seiya’s “Pegasus Meteor Fist” are all shown but don’t just take my word for it, head down to the featured video section below and check out the video. Any fan of Shonen Jump would!

Keep your eyes on the site for any and all new information as it is released and remember that “J-Stars Victory Vs” is set to hit Japan on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on the 19th of March this year.

Sugoi! More news from the world of “J-Stars Victory Vs.” and it’s all thanks to Namco Bandai who revealed, through Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, the next four playable characters in the upcoming shonen brawler. Ace from “One Piece”, Killua from “HunterXHunter”, Hiei from “Yu Yu Hakusho” and Momotaro from “Sakigake!! Otoko Juku” are the four newest characters to have been added to the lineup.

Now we’ve already seen the addition of characters from “One Piece”, HunterXHunter” and “Yu Yu Hakusho” but, up until just now, no character from the classic bancho manga “Sakigake!! Otoko Juku” had been part of the roster. Thankfully the addition of “Momotaro” alongside the support character “Heihachi Edajima” has changed that and one more classic manga has been added into the hot pot that is “J-Stars Victory Vs”.

It’s so great to see that Namco Bandai and Shonen Jump have not slowed down on the information release for this game because it brings a smile to our faces every single week when we see that more great stuff has been added to this already fantastic game. Keep your eyes on the site for any and all new information as it is released and remember that “J-Stars Victory Vs” is set for a release in Japan on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on the 19th of March this year.

Curve Digital have announced that their upcoming action game, Titan Invasion, will in fact be a combination of Puppygames’; Titan Attacks! and Revenge of the Titans. The cross-buy action title is coming this summer on PS3, PS4 and PlayStation Vita.

Managing Director of Curve Digital, Jason Perkins, stated, “Titan Attacks and Revenge of the Titans are two full games in their own right, so being able to release them as a single collection in Titan Invasion – and to also be able to offer that as cross-buy title – represents great value for money for PlayStation gamers.”

In contrast to EA’s ‘Titanfall’, Titan Attacks! is an arcade shooter, that plays a little more like a modern, more advanced Space Invaders (as shown above), with a full ship upgrade system, online leaderboards and stylish, neo-retro visuals. Whereas, Revenge of the Titans is a real-time strategy and tower-defence mash-up with over 25 different types of buildings and a deep upgrade system as players progress through 50 challenging levels.

Keep on guard for the Titan Invasion, as more Capsule Computer updates are released within the next month.
