Hardcore Gamer report that GALAK-Z is coming to PS4 and PS Vita this fall.
“GALAK-Z is a modern, A.I. and physics-driven open-world action game, viewed
through the lens of the classic 16-bit space shooter. It’s 2D combat taken to the next
level,” says Jake Kazdal, CEO of 17-BIT. Players will take control of a variety of classic
spacecraft inspired by anime of the late 70s and early 80s, piloted by a cast of
characters every bit as colorful as the rainbow-hued explosions erupting all around
them. Newtonian physics take center stage as players experience finely-tuned control,
blasting enemies, unleashing missile salvos, and tossing enemies into explosive
obstacles.
The bar is raised for intense deep-space dogfighting with dynamic and life-like enemies,
powered by the next generation Cyntient AI platform, developed by Cyntient Inc.
Players will be forced to outmaneuver, outgun and outsmart enemies that think, react
and cooperate like seasoned pilots. Both stealth and skill are required to defeat enemy
squads in a brutal game of cat and mouse. Prepare for an enemy that comes alive like
never before.
Gamers can look forward to experiencing GALAK-Z first on Sony’s PlayStation 4.
“Sony’s incredible support and outreach to indie devs for unique content, along with the
ability to self-publish, makes it our choice destination as an independent game studio,”
says Kazdal.
