Indie developers Alterego Games and The Naked Dev have announced they will be releasing their steampunk adventure game City of Springs on Steam Early Access on 31st January. With City of Springs, step into a world where a cruel regime controls its people with robots and create your own to fight back.
In City of Springs, players take the role of Val, a mechanic from the slum district of the last city on Earth. The city is like a broken clock, with a cruel and strict regime controlling everything but not to anyone’s satisfaction. Those who speak out, complain or commit any transgressions are stripped of rations. Val is the only one who has it in them to stand up to this tyrannical regime and fix the city.
In order to fight back, Val must craft and modify drones that she can use to fight the robotic guards of the city in one-on-one duels (in what the developers like to call an indie interpretation of Horizon Zero Dawn with Clash of Clans-like combat, but then completely different).
Search the city’s nooks and crannies to find the resources necessary to craft new abilities but be sure to sneak around the robotic guards and the surveillance cameras that are always watching. Help the people where they need it the most in an epic storyline.
City of Springs features:
- An epic narrative spanning 32 main quests and 43 sidequests in 8-20 hours of gameplay.
- Explore an enormous city that has been divided into five sectors, each sector with its own challenges.
- Collect story-content tapes featuring live-action videos.
- Fight robotic guards in unique 1-on-1 combat.
- Sneak past enemies and CCTV cameras undetected.
- A rich atmosphere of a dystopian world to experience.
“We wanted a game in which the player has the freedom to choose whether to fight or sneak their way towards their goal. A story-driven game with lots of gameplay that is casual in nature, so the game is accessible to a broad audience. A game that rewards the exploration of the world and makes the players feel they are making a real change to the world.” – Vincent da Silva, Lead Game Designer.
