Neato alien shootin ‘cooperative FPS The Anacrusis was released as early access a few weeks ago, and Studio Stray Bombay seems quite happy to announce that more than 200,000 players have killed more than a billion aliens. Anacrusis is available as an initial access and / or game preview Steam And PC game pass From 13 January. Anacrusis is having access to a “really weird” startup, which includes cross-platform, cross-storefront play and metaprogression.
Straw Bombay is the studio of making The Ancrusis. It was founded by Chet Fallisjek, who wrote Left 4 for Valve during Dead Days, and Kimberly Vall, who was the designer of Riot Games.
Anacrusis is a bright and shiny retrofuture of the 1970s, where everything is post-medieval and modern and there is alien blood in everything because your clean space cruise has been so interrupted. There’s also a black hole gun thing, which I really like and which forces a lot of aliens to go Crunch splat.
Our Lincoln Carpenter tried the game again in November before its release and found it to be one of those games that you really want to hang out with your friends.
Sweet place Eurogamer.
