Sam ‘EnrightBeats’ Enright’s sci-fi adventure-RPG prepares for launch on PC and consoles in just a few short weeks with a brand-new interstellar trailer.

Wednesday, 21^st August 2024 – United Label, CI Games’ home for highly ambitious, lovingly-crafted videogames, has announced during the Future Games Show at gamescom that 2.5D adventure-RPG, Beyond Galaxyland, will launch 24^th September on PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch™. Created by Chicago-based game developer and music producer, Sam ‘EnrightBeats’ Enright, Beyond Galaxyland is inspired by classic sci-fi movies of the 1980s and iconic turn-based RPGs of the 1990s.

Set among the stars, the game follows Doug, a high school student who’s whisked away to Galaxyland – a seemingly idyllic, zoo-like collection of planets – moments before the destruction of planet Earth by a celestial destroyer of worlds known only as ‘The End’. As Doug embarks on an interplanetary quest, pinballing around a cluster of diverse planets and biomes – including neon-lit cities, a cybernetic casino, and a desert set within the dead husks of starships – he’s joined by a ragtag medley of companions  in a valiant effort to discover the truth behind Galaxyland and somehow undo the apocalypse of Earth.

Beyond Galaxyland modernises the beloved, old-skool RPG with a cosmic-cocktail of classic platforming, puzzle solving, an engaging turn-based combat system, epic boss battles, and a capture/summons mechanic that allows Doug to unleash the fauna he battles in future fights. A demo of Beyond Galaxyland, which gives gamers a chance to experience a romping slice of the adventure, is available to play during gamescom at the Indies of the Americas Pavilion, Hall 10.2, F11h.

Beyond Galaxyland key features:

• Active turn-based combat: Engage in strategic turn-based battles against a vast range of galactic nemeses, with time-responsive defensive gameplay to minimise damage. Each party member has a range of unique abilities at their disposal, but for an additional tactical advantage, sneakily scan your enemy pre-battle to discover their strengths and weaknesses.
• Interplanetary exploration: From the blizzard-swept planes of Arcos to the tropical jungle ravines of Erros, the neon-buzzing cities of Neo to the arid sand dunes of Xalm, explore a cosmic cluster of unique worlds, each with its own quests, environmental puzzles, and out-of-this-world characters.
• A classic sci-fi adventure: A semi-open 2.5D adventure-RPG in a classic sci-fi fish-out-of-water tale that pays homage to family-friendly adventure and sci-fi movies. Beyond Galaxyland’s story features laughter, loss, peril and friendship, all dipped in a dazzling layer of neon-tastic pixels.
• Epic boss battles: Encounter 25 epic bosses throughout many extraterrestrial travels, including colossal space dragons, flesh eating flowers, and the all-knowing bionic behemoth that is the Nexus Mind.
• Capture & utilise enemies: Successfully capture the many weird and wonderful creatures encountered on different worlds, each possessing exclusive abilities, and later unleash them during the heat of battle.

Revenge of the Savage Planet crash lands onto PC and consoles in early-ish 2025, bringing more planets, more critters, and more laughter than you can shake a Babutt’s Butt at.

21st August, 2024, Cologne – Indie Studio, Raccoon Logic (previously Typhoon Studios), have announced their newest title, Revenge of the Savage Planet will crash land into a solar system near you in early-ish 2025 for PC and consoles. Revealed during both Opening Night Live and the Xbox Gamescom showcase, Revenge of the Savage Planet brings back everything you loved about the first game in the series, but bigger and better in every way, with more planets, gear, critters, laughs, satire, and this time, in third person. 

Revenge of the Savage Planet will see you unceremoniously ousted from your mission to colonize space after the powers that be deemed space exploration far too costly and challenging, they ultimately made you redundant during your 80 years of cryosleep. So, stranded on an alien planet with nothing but your wits and whatever you can scavenge from the vibrant landscape, you’ll head out on an adventure to explore strange new lands, collecting and crafting new gear in an effort to make your way home. 

Feast your eyeballs on the reveal trailer:

Playable both solo and co-op, you can jump into Revenge of the Savage Planet with a friend, partner, mortal enemy (we won’t judge), either nestled in the same room with split screen co-op, or even across the mystery that is the internets on the platform of your choosing with crossplay. 

Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director, Raccoon Logic Said: 

“We’re beyond excited to welcome budding explorers back to the Savage Planet universe. A lot has happened since we launched the original title – both in-game and life, with the whole studio being shuttered during a global pandemic. On the back of this, Raccoon Logic was born, and with it Revenge of the Savage Planet, which may or may not incorporate an element of the journey we all went through. The XBOX showcase today is the tip of the asteroid, and we can’t wait to show everyone the world we’ve created next year” 

Revenge of the Savage Planet Key Features:

• Third-Person Online Co-Op & Crossplay – Play with your best friend, partner or hellspawn on/or between any platform and now in third-person! You’ll be tasked with fully exploring and understanding these beautiful alien landscapes and uncovering its secrets.
• Couch Co-Op with Split Screen – Experience the nostalgia tinged joy of sitting on the same couch and playing on the same screen with someone you love, like the olden days but with 100% more corporate satire
• Survive FOUR Savage PlanetS – Populate your Kindex by exploring four large, vibrant worlds each with their own weird and wonderful plants and creatures. Scan everything, catalog everything, hopefully increase your science level… and you might even unlock new (yet still 4th best) gear! Plus… there may be more than four planets. Maybe.
• Space Action & Adventure – Run, Jump, Shoot, Grind, Stomp, Dodge, Slide, Lasso and Grapple your way through the world! While you’re at it you’ll also be experimenting with three different types of gameplay goo, most of which are highly flammable! Overcome challenging combat encounters with alien boss battles, suggestive fauna, problematic software and maybe even a greedy CEO.
• Habitat & Character Customization – Alien plants! Exciting gear! Weird rocks! Each planet is packed with nooks and crannies hiding all manner of rewards and secrets.  While you’re at it you can even customize yourself,  and your tiny habitat-like corner of the universe.
• Collect Alien Creatures – Intergalactic Hoarders can also use their Lasso to Capture and Collect dozens of strange creatures, then go visit them once they’re relocated “happily placed” in Pens outside your customizable space trailer in scenic Nu Florida.  After all, who is the real dangerous enemy, the corporate profiteers who fired you or a slimy exploding alien creature?
• SAVAGE PLANET FRANCHISE – Originally released on Xbox, PS4, Epic Games Store, Steam, Stadia and Switch platforms enabling fun space adventures for millions of players across the globe.  The original game earned multiple awards as a humorous, cooperative indie adventure, Then later Raccoon Logic developed the “Employee of the Month” version for Gen 9 consoles.  Raccoon Logic Typhoon Studios captured the attention of press,creators and earned its Very Positive consumer ratings and Critics endorsements.
