Outer Terror will be available on Xbox X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch.

Outer Terror is a testament to VoxPop’s commitment towards elevating indie developers to greatness and we are so proud to bring this tremendous indie hidden gem to the wider purview of home entertainment consoles and an entirely new global audience.” said Marc Anthony Rodriguez, co-founder & COO of VoxPop Games, who served as Executive Producer for Outer Terror. “Through our publishing partnership with Ratalaika Games, this will be the first VoxPop Games property on consoles and we couldn’t be more excited.

Whether playing solo or co-op, each playthrough of Outer Terror will give players a different experience with randomized weapons and upgrade choices, enemy patterns, and areas of the map. You thought that safe zone would be in the same spot as last time? Think again, you’ll have to slaughter your way through enemies to find it with each playthrough.

The game is packed to the gills in Lovecraftian evil. It’s brutal, campy and surreal. It’s a well-crafted homage to the golden age of horror comics and the B-movies of the 80’s and 90’s.  It’s Outer Terror from VoxPop Games and console publisher, Ratalaika Games S.L. are getting ready to knock your socks off.

Outer Terror marks the first console game launch for VoxPop Games’ new peer-to-peer games distribution and development platform, where multiple stakeholders, including the developer, artists, and voice actors, will be paid directly from the VoxPop platform. The middleware toolset VoxPop offers, allows game developers to use equity in their games as an advanced resource for both team profit-sharing and launch marketing.

Features Include:

  • Pixelated bullet hell styled chaos: combine weapons and automatically fire as you wade through unrelenting waves of enemies (best keep moving though or you might go splat).
  • An S+ class/B movie styled cast: choose from 10 survivors reminiscent of classic horror protagonists. Find out how they survived, level up their attributes and teach them new skills to make enemies go splat.
  • Multiple game modes: choose from solo story mode, completing side quests and going at it alone, or play with a buddy in co-op.
  • A constant gorefest: roguelite elements make each playthrough its own bloody adventure with randomized weapon buff pick-ups, upgrade options, maps, and even enemy paths.
  • A classic throwback: play through 5 volumes of stories inspired by classic horror comics and films with boss battles tearing straight out of a Lovecraftian yarn.
