Static Sky will bring tactical cyberpunk action to iPad and iPhone
Shootouts in the rain
Static Sky promises to deliver tactical action across detailed cyberpunk locations.
You guide a team of high-tech mercenaries - heavy weapon specialist, agile street samurai, dual-wielding agent - on a quest for retribution, as well as ancillary missions to gather resources and upgrade your squad through augmentations.
Static Sky's cyberpunk encounters occur in real time, enhanced by a bullet time mode to issue orders. Through a simple tap-to-move/attack/interact control scheme, you can take cover, hack into terminals, plan a stealthy approach, put your heavy weapon specialist into overwatch and send your street samurai in to finish off the suppressed enemies, among other tactical options.
Hacking will be a major aspect of Static Sky's gameplay. Through a visual overlay, you can rewire the connections between various objects in the world. One example described how you could disable a turret's scanners so your team could pass by undetected, then connect the button for a nearby door to the turret. This would cause the turret to activate and target the doorway when enemies opened it.
You'll perform missions in varied locations, ranging from high-tech facilities and rain-swept rooftops to cracked streets lit by neon storefronts, each rendered with atmospheric details like dynamic lighting and real-time shadows.
Static Sky will be releasing on iPad and iPhone, ideally before Christmas but possibly next year. More information on the game's progress and development can be found here.
