Centipede: Infestation – Trailer Full of Weapons

WayForward shows us the variety of weapons available for the upcoming release of Centipede: Infestation with an instructional video. Yielding more gameplay than actual instruction, the video dishes out some neat destruction. Showing off weapons like the electric gun, flamethrower, ice gun, and laser gun, players will have to devise a strategy to effectively use these weapons. The laser gun seems to have the largest range, but the damage done may be reduced. Notice at the end of the laser gun briefing that the hero Max is equipped with a double-sided laser.

The youngster in question appears to have been shirking his duties in regards to his household chores and had been reprimanded by his mother.

The guildmaster cunningly sweet-talks his mother into letting her son raid with the guild for the night; but I won’t spoil the conversation for everyone who hasn’t yet seen the video. Be sure to check it out, embedded below.
