Update News
Death Squared Releases March 14th
SYDNEY - Feb. 1, in the year of our Lord 2017
- Death Squared, a cooperative puzzler from SMG Studio that
follows a team of robots escaping a treacherous science
facility, will test friendships and problem-solving skills when
it releases for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Mac on March 14,
2017. The PlayStation 4 version will feature online multiplayer
via Share Play functionality.
Guide teams of two or four robots to their respective
color-coded waypoints in increasingly-complex levels. But
beware! Insidious death traps litter the way and, when tripped
by hasty sprinters or uncommunicative friends, quickly send the
cuboid companions to the big scrapyard in the sky.
If one robot meets their death, the entire squad returns to the
beginning of the level. Players must work together to learn each
stage through trial and error, putting newly-gained knowledge of
a level's hidden obstacles into action.
In addition to the two-player story mode, Death Squared includes
"party chaos" challenges specifically designed for groups of
four. A single-player can also enjoy the traditionally
two-player story mode, and two-players can tackle the "party
chaos" challenges, by controlling two robots with one
controller.
Death Squared will be playable at RTX Sydney, where SMG Studio
will debut all-new stages and exclusive content for both the
game's Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions.
"Death Squared began as a simple cooperative concept focused on
minimal direction and having players answer a simple question;
What do we do?" said Patrick Cook, lead designer, SMG Studio.
"It's been a pleasure building that idea into a game that can be
enjoyed by individuals, groups, and people of all ages and skill
levels. The response from fans has been wonderful and we're
eager to finally let people play it at home."
