Mighty Rocket Studio just announced a brand new game coming this year to PC, PlayStation Network And Xbox Live Arcade. The game is called Obscure, and is an action-heavy, 2.5D side-scroller that lets you play as one of four characters, each with their own special abilities that develop throughout the game.
Obscure’s combat emphasizes combos, follow-up attacks, and score-multipliers. Survive against packs of monsters trying to skin you alive, discover new weapons, and complete objectives throughout a variety of huge, non-linear levels. Overshooting the scores will earn you experience points to level your character up, unlocking new weapons, skills, and other devastating abilities. While this can all be done by a single player, inviting your buddies to join you will scale the difficulty up, adding additional challenges.
You may be wondering if Obscure has anything to do with ObsCure, the 2004 survival horror title from Hydravision Entertainment. Well, it kind of does, as Mighty Rocket Studio is comprised of many of the developers who worked on the original. Despite the completely different style of gameplay, Mighty Rocket Studio’s new game embraces its origins and incorporates many familiar elements of the survival-horror genre; sparse ammunition, limited supplies of health kits, and the oppressive feeling of constant danger in a universe where gruesome creatures may suddenly appear out of nowhere!
There’s no release date yet, but it’s expected to hit PC, PSN and Xbox LIVE in spring 2013. Here’s a teaser trailer for you:
