Multiplayer Game 'Wondershot' Release Date Set, Gameplay Detailed
Fans who have been waiting for the top-down, multiplayer video game "Wondershot" will only have to wait for a more days until the game arrives. According to the announcement made by the French indie game developer Leikir Studio in the game's official Facebook account, "Wondershot" will be arriving on Feb. 19 for Xbox One and Steam and on Feb. 23 for PlayStation 4.
Xbox Achievements detailed that the game is designed to be purposefully family-friendly with the goal of bringing in party fun instead of competitive play. The press release says the game is a "multiplayer festival that the whole family can enjoy."
During the game, players will be taking control of different characters. They will be going through intense "one shot and you're down" rounds in various map locations. There are four weapons available that players must master in using in order to release the special abilities of each weapon. As noted in PlayStation Lifestyle, the four analog weapons include a bow, hammer, boomerang and slingshot.
The bow can make the arrow move extremely fast if it is loaded. If not, it will have auto aiming. The hammer, which is a melee weapon, can push towards walls and ammos. The boomerang has a super-fast ability and will come back upon the gamer's decision. The slingshot, on the other hand, bounces three times before stopping. Loading this weapon will make it faster but smaller.
Each player will only have one ammo and one life. Missing the shot will mean losing the ammo on the map and they will need to pick it up without getting killed. On each round, weapons will be changed, as well as the map. The game can be played by one to four players.
There are also three game modes available. One is the multiplayer mode which will involve one to four players fighting. The second one is the Challenges mode or the solo mode. Players will encounter a total of 45 challenges. The last one is the Endless mode which is a cooperative battle against waves of wicked foes on maps that constantly change for every wave.
