Viscera: A new twin-stick shooter promises pure, unadulterated violence
Animation Logic is an indie developer hailing from Canada, and they've just announced their maiden title, "Viscera," which will launch on Steam in Q4 of 2024. This sci-fi twin-stick shooter's whole notion is to provide an intense, gory experience hearkening back to the classic shooters of yesteryear.
Gameplay Emphasis
Viscera strips away many of the complexities found in modern shooters, focusing instead on fast-paced, chaotic action. The game eschews cinematics, storytelling, and extraneous mechanics in favor of pure, unbridled violence. Using an arsenal of over 50 weapons, players will be going up against hordes of mutant enemies.
Abilities and Weapons
The game offers a wide range of weaponry, starting from typical firearms-machine guns, plasma rifles-to some more exotic variants like:
- A saw gun is used to tear enemies.
- Bullets that explode into other bullets
- A black hole generator
Complementing the diverse selection of weapons is a complex system of perks comprising more than 80 abilities. The player will be able to tune their characters with implants, manipulate time, and unleash crushing blows on opponents.
Visual Style and Gore
Viscera is grungy and futuristic with oodles of gore as players fight through levels, blood splatters, and streaks across the environment in a visually visceral experience.
Developer Background
Animation Logic was founded by Egor Semenikhin, who brings 17 years of industry experience with him to this project. Having worked at Ubisoft and ZeniMax on titles like Hitman (2016), PUBG, and Rainbow Six Mobile, he now wants Viscera to be a game that returns that magic from classic games.
Release Information
Viscera will then be coming to PC via Steam in Q4 2024. With promises of intense action and a good deal of gore, it hopes to bring a nostalgia-rich yet new experience to all fans of twin-stick shooters and classic arcade-style gameplay.
