Its
very Good news Fat Resogun's voxel shooting mayhem helped sustain PS4 back in thesparse launch times, but its fight is nearly done. Thanks to the Challengers
update landing today and Defenders expansion releasing next week, $25 Earn it will end
with a bang. A vibrant, blocky bang.
First
off, the free Challengers update adds a bunch of new ways to play through
Resogun's existing levels. You can play through new Challenges across all
existing game modes, which add new wrinkles like trying to rescue 200 humans in
a match where every ship ship drops one, and progress toward cumulative feats
like rescuing 1,000 humans overall. Either method will get you Challenge Points
and increase your player level.
Then
Defenders hits PS4 on February 17 in North America and February 18 in Europe,
adding two new modes and associated Trophies and leaderboards. It's available
as part of the season pass or on its own for $4.99/£3.99 - though no mention
has been made of a PS3 or PS Vita version so far.
Protector
Mode lets you defend a lone human colony with new power-ups and automated
defenses. Rescuing humans and delivering them to cities will extend your
control over the planet, while a new planet-flipping mechanic and environmental
hazards will keep you on your toes.
Speaking
of toes, you'll have to fight on foot in Commando Mode, which sets you as the
last human survivor blasting back waves of foes from the ground. Defend your
base alone or in co-op, or try to take out your rival's abode in competitive
mode. Either way, you get to go out with guns blazing.
