First time Singapore-based game developer, TrueWorld Studios, is set to launch its upcoming title, Unyielder, on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on September 29th, throwing players into a post-apocalyptic wasteland in its roguelite high-speed boss rush FPS.
In this game, every fight is a 1v1 boss battle as players dash and smash their way across Antarctica with a changing arsenal of weapons, skills, and abilities scavenged from defeated foes. Blending looter-shooter action, fast-paced movement, and character-driven combat, every victory grants Data Drives that power the games “BYOBoss” system that lets players craft their own final bosses.
It will be published by Shueisha Games, the gaming division of global renowned manga publisher, Shueisha, known for publishing the popular Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine.
In the latest trailer, audiences can catch more than the game’s intense boss battles against over 40 unique foes, each imbued with distinct attack patterns and combat styles. It also reveals the game’s five playable characters, each with their own unique movement, style, and special skills.
Players start with one character and unlock the remaining four progressively, which means the first choice matters as gameplay will differ depending on strategic approaches based on character selection.
The Pretender: Gatling is the well-rounded mid-range fighter, while the Pretender: Thumper is a tank with high HP, shield strength and aerial mobility. Then there is Skinner, a melee fighter who gains buffs from successful dodges, Rali, a charge-based powerhouse who deals massive burst damage, and finally, Rain, a close-combat guardian who parries and counters with precision timing.
And fighting them are the four boss classes. Minor Bosses are the ones players will face off against early in the game, while Major Bosses offer a greater challenge, since they drop Data Drives for crafting. Special Bosses are secret bosses that emerge only when specific conditions are met, while Legendary Bosses custom bosses based on player decisions.
