We Are Doomed is bringing overpowered laser beams and neon polygons to Vita in 2015
Going out in style
Fast-paced twin-stick shooter We Are Doomed is coming to PS Vita in 2015. This makes me rather happy.
It won me over earlier this year when released on PC. I immediately fell in love with its lo-fi look of neon colours and glitching geometry.
But it's more than something to stare into captivated by onder. There's a strong risk-reward conceit running throughout that keeps you sucked in.
You're armed with a powerful, short-range laser that forces you to dive into the thick of the action to defeat enemies.
You also want to collect purple trinkets to charge your SuperBeam. Once it's ready, this overpowered laser fires a huge beam across the entire screen, taking out everything.
It's lends itself to moments of glorious power. But you still have be careful as you're still very vulnerable to any attacks while firing.
As Mobeen Fikree, the game's designer, says in the announcement, "We Are Doomed is about feeling empowered and challenged, often at the same time."
We Are Doomed will be released on PS4 in early 2015 with the Vita version coming soon after. Check out its website for more details.
