Kitchener, Ontario, Canada – February 5th, 2024 – Inspired by classic team-based survival shooters and using light as a major gameplay element, Mutant Realm Entertainment is excited to announce its debut game Lightphobe! Featuring match-ups with up to 16 players, Lightphobe challenges competitors to capture a control point and defend against opponents with unique abilities. Lightphobe will be launching into early access on Steam, on February 12, 2024.
About The Game
Lightphobe is an asymmetrical cooperative multiplayer game where players can choose between defending the earth as a squad of well-armed soldiers or terrorizing their enemies as the ethereal skeletal creatures known as Lightphobes.
Invincible within the darkness, and armed to the teeth, Lightphobes are powerful unearthly nightmares, who will stop at nothing until they rip every living thing in front of them to shreds. Soldiers will need more than just bullets to survive. The military has sent specialists who can equip 5 different loadouts allowing for varied playstyles to even the odds against the opposition.
Gameplay Description
- Lightphobe blends competitive team-based shooter gameplay with melee-based stealth mechanics in a cat and mouse-style battle for supremacy.
- Strategize and adapt to a constantly changing battlefield with dynamic light sources that directly affect the competition.
- Pick between playing as a Soldier (first-person shooter) or as a Lightphobe (third-person melee action) with multiple load-outs to choose from.
- Play with up to 16 players in multiplayer; with support for both peer-to-peer networking and dedicated servers.
