Guardians of Gaia out in January
Guardians of Gaia is an intriguing looking action combat game with a new demo up on Steam now. It’s a multiplayer brawler with an in-depth control system and action stylings.
The game is a one-man project, by Tokyo’s Handmade Games. It’s incredibly impressive for an individual project, so let’s hope it does well.
The demo lets you fight your way past waves of guardians that grow in number as you progress. When you start out it’s just one guy, backed up with a handful of grunts to let you get the hang of the controls. By the last level you’ve got a tough fight on your hands as seven guardians need to be downed.
You have a range of powers to help you, and can pick up and upgrade various different weapons. The graphics look unique – kind of voxelly, and I’m keen to check it out the finished game. The storm effects, which get more intense as the demo progresses, are also cool.
The full game is coming out on February 24th. Those of you that enjoy PvP multiplayer should check it out. Here’s the Steam link.
Edit: This post originally mentioned the shaky performance of the game on older machines, but this has now been improved in updates. The post has also been expanded, and includes an updated release date.
