Surf’s Up in Surfpunk: New Overview Trailer Reveals High-Octane Co-op ARPG Action
Developer Double Stallion has released the latest trailer for their upcoming co-op extraction ARPG, Surfpunk, offering an in-depth look at the vibrant, danger-filled world of the game. Revealed during The MIX November Showcase, this Director’s Cut overview trailer dives into the mechanics, combat, and the adrenaline-pumping thrill of navigating tsunami-sized waves as seafaring Raiders.
Explore The Fallen World and Master the Anchor Weapon Class
The trailer introduces players to the Anchor weapon class, a versatile hybrid designed for crushing enemies up close or sniping them from afar. This heavy melee-ranged weapon lets players:
- Slam enemies in close combat.
- Throw the anchor, then either recall it to quickly recover or pull themselves toward it for creative combo attacks.
- Wield a built-in shotgun cannon to clear out crowds of enemies.
This is just one of many unique load-outs players can experiment with, offering depth and variety for different playstyles.
Dynamic Expeditions and the Race Against Time
Each run begins on the Beastship, the Raiders’ home base. Players venture out on their Rushboards to explore procedurally generated islands teeming with mysterious enemies called Sumi. Objectives include:
- Collecting valuable materials.
- Rescuing stranded Raiders.
- Escaping the island before the looming tsunami strikes.
Once the wave hits, players must surf back to safety, dodging obstacles and preserving their hard-earned loot.
