Press release:
London, UK — 5th April, 2018: Indie studio ‘Krafted Games’ today announce Gyro Motion Aiming controls will be included as an optional feature in the Switch version of minimalist, rogue-like, randomly generated, first person shooter, POLYGOD. The title will launch worldwide for Xbox One, PC Steam and Nintendo Switch Q1 2018 for £16.19 / $14.99 / €16.59.

“We’ve noticed a trend of Switch players using gyro motion controls in conjunction with standard controls to gain more accuracy,” commented Dominic Obojkovits, co-founder, Lead Designer & Programmer at Krafted Games. “We think this control system will enhance the FPS experience of POLYGOD so we’re adding it as an optional feature for all Switch gamers.”

POLYGOD has already attracted a legion of fans at Early Access stage on PC with its distinctive, bold visual style and solid gameplay mechanic. Now poised for launch on XboxOne, Nintendo Switch as well as full launch on Steam for PC, POLYGOD is ready to challenge even the most refined FPS guru.

POLYGOD features:

– Infinite level possibilities – maps are randomly generated and seeded providing a tonne of replayability, but then shareable among friends in

order to encourage competition with full leaderboard support

– Brutal Difficulty curve – Only the most skilled gamers will ascend to Godhood…

– Online co-op and versus multiplayer – Allows for competitive fun to be had among friends featuring daily leaderboards

– Skill based gameplay – Built upon a principle that if one lacks skill, it can be substituted for strategy and vice versa. Eg. unskilled strategic players will be just as good as skillful nonstrategic players.

– Unique ‘Blessings’ based weapon customisation system – Combine and stack ‘blessings’ to create hundreds of thousands of unique weapons, blessings combine to give a high level of depth. Deep understanding is required to fully utilise the blessing system which in turn gives a high replay value

– Classic FPS controls – POLYGOD’s controls are reminiscent of Quake 3 and the original Doom, bringing a classic gameplay vibe back having been absent since the 90’s!

– Super fast paced and addictive – requires hundreds of hours to master, a speed-runner/hardcore gamer’s dream.
