Catastronauts Announced
Ely, Cambridgeshire – April 3rd, in the year of our
Lord 2018 – Inertia Game Studios is thrilled to
announce Catastronauts – a colourful and chaotic interstellar
party game – is headed to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo
Switch and PC in late 2018.
Catastronauts is a fast-paced multiplayer action game in which
players become a crew of intergalactic spacefarers who must work
together to destroy an attacking enemy fleet, whilst frantically
struggling to keep their own ship intact.
Co-ordination, co-operation and decisiveness are essential to
victory, as multiple tasks need to be taken care of across the
vessel. Who is going to fire the lasers, arm the torpedoes,
repair a breach in the hull and extinguish that damned fire?
Boldly go, or things will go badly!
In addition to the regular occupational hazards, each level
offers unique challenges and dangers to deal with including
solar flares and malfunctioning extraction doors. Meanwhile a
whole host of unique mechanics will keep even the most
experienced crew members on their toes.
"I'm extremely excited to reveal Catastronauts to the world.
It's our first console title and we struggle with keeping the
noise down in the office when we play it." said Kieran Newland,
Lead Game Developer, Inertia Games Studios. "We've focused on
making it super accessible while still keeping plenty of
challenge and fun. We can't wait to see how the public responds
to it."
Inertia Game Studios will be EGX Rezzed at the Tobacco Dock
London from the 13th - 15th April, and invite all budding
Catastronauts to try their hand at five chaotic levels and say
hello to the devs. Grab your friends and enlist today - an
entire galaxy of misadventure awaits!
