A new shoot ’em up has been announced for PS4, and this is in the shape of Defenders Of Ekron. In the game you are put in the shoes of Eneas who has trained to control an Anakim, a mech that can absorb energy and use it for its own attack purposes. However as war breaks out it is discovered Eneas’ Anakim doesn’t have that power meaning when in battle it is quite vulnerable.
However it still has guns and a sword to take out enemy craft, and Defenders Of Ekron isn’t just a run of the mill shoot ’em up. In each environment you’ll be able to explore, discovering secrets that shed light on reasons for the breakout of the war. The gameplay itself does look rather traditional though and quite reminiscent of older shoot ’em ups.
There isn’t a solid release date for Defenders Of Ekron but late this year is the expected time frame.

Every now & then, certain bits of the video remind me of Xenon.
I wanna a re-make of Xenon!

Could TSA introduce a partitioned comments area where gutter swearing is allowed? I only ask because I would fill it with a torrent of expletives about this utterly awful looking game.
I like how you have outlined the plot… ha ha.
TSA, being fairly close to the Devs and to Sony, could you pass forward some comments about how bored a number of punters are getting with these PS2 style indie titles?
