Indie developer Sobaka Studio has announced a release date for KIBORG, their fast-paced cyberpunk roguelite action beat ’em up game.
KIBORG is set to launch this month on April 30th across Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. A playable demo for the game is up on its Steam page and get our preview for the game!
“After spending several years developing KIBORG, and the dramatic change we made after we saw the reception to KIBORG: Arena, it feels relieving to announce next month’s launch,” said Dmitry Kachkov, Head of Sobaka Studio. “Can you make it out of The Last Ticket alive?”
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Morgan Lee has been accused of war crimes he didn’t commit and sentenced to a 1,300-year sentence on the galaxy’s worst prison planet with no hope of parole. Death provides no escape, as his jailors will keep reviving him until he serves every last second. But one way out does exist: win on Cable Galactica’s hottest game show, “The Last Ticket.”
Starting off with just melee attacks, brutalize waves of foes with kicks and punches, eventually earning ranged weapons like simple pistols up to assault rifles and futuristic firearms that can pack a punch from a distance. Roll to dodge attacks, or use carefully-timed blocks to deflect enemy attacks, just don’t run out of energy.
The Last Ticket’s grotesque host Volkov may be a monster, but he likes entertainment, so Morgan has access to cybernetic implants that increase the strength of his melee attacks, enable literally bone-crushing combos, and enable the usage of giant sledgehammers. What’s a cybernetic upgrade without the ability to unleash special powers like rocket-propelled dash punches and electric shockwaves?
Reviving Morgan after each run will prove to be Volkov’s gravest mistake, as the currency earned each run can go toward permanent unlocks, giving Morgan more and more advantages as he seeks freedom, no matter what it may cost him along the way.
