It can´t be an easy task to take on the FPS genre as an indie dev. considering the fact that the FPS market is totally dominated by big AAA studios. But then again, the FPS mod scene has been strong for year (Brutal Doom anyone?).
Sure, that works just fine. But it´s a whole nother story to make a full length FPS game on your own as an indie dev.
And that´s exactly the case with Appsolutely Studios FPS game “Battle for the sun” (which is set for an early release sometime this year).
At first sight, “Battle for the sun” (PC, MAC, Linux, iOS and Android) made me think about a combo of old school Half-Life and “X-Com goes FPS”.
So it´s going to be really interesting to see how well (or bad) the game will do on it´s upcoming Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight campaign (which will launch any day now).
But until then, feel free to checkout the trailer for “Battle for the sun”!
