Deadbeat Heroes, described as a fast-paced, brawling crime-caper set in a comic book inspired world, is to be published by Square Enix Collective for PC and Xbox One.
Here’s the blurb about the game:
“Deadbeat Heroes is a 3D, movement-based brawler about dodging bullets, stealing super powers and cracking wise. Action in the game is all about celebrating movement, with the Deadbeat Heroes playable characters being some of the most agile in videogame history; seamlessly able to leap, dash, wall-run, climb, backflip as well as attack in any direction and perform a wide variety of super-moves. They’ll need this agility as there is no block – these ‘glass cannon’ protagonists are able to dish out damage, but not take it!”
The game comes from Deadbeat Productions, started by former Lionhead and Rockstar devs Adam Langridge and Imkan Hayati. The pair recruited BAFTA-winning writer James Leach (Black & White) to bring humour to the game’s script.
“Deadbeat Heroes is a game that we’ve always dreamed of making,” said Adam Langridge, Director at Deadbeat Productions. “We are delighted that the Square Enix Collective team, with their experience, vision and passion believe in the gameplay, style and… well… daftness of Deadbeat as much as we do.”
