Metric Empire has confirmed that Battle Shapers, its rogue-lite first person shooter, is now available through Steam Early Access. In Battle Shapers, players fight through levels filled with corrupt robots, and continuously upgrade to face the challenges that are thrown at them, including the power of the Overlords.
Battle Shapers features include;
- FIGHT LASER WITH LASER — Gun down hordes of cunning enemy machines with
relentless risk-taking, and bot-busting close-range warfare in which every kill fuels your
combat capabilities. Learn to adapt to the Overlords’ dangerous attacks and retaliations
that are thrown at you every step of the way. - COMBAT IS ONLY HALF THE BATTLE — Unlock new weapons, abilities and talents
to permanently increase your survivability and combat potential with every run. Each
tower promises different hidden upgrades and weapons to strengthen your journey
further. - BUILD YOUR ‘CORE’ STRENGTH — Acquire fallen Overlords’ powers and watch as
they change not just your abilities, but your appearance and gameplay. As your powers
grow and change, be careful—with every defeated Overlord, Ada’s path becomes more
and more difficult.
Metric Empire has also released a roadmap that covers what players should expect between now and the end of the the year. In October, a new feature will allow the transfer of modifiers and gear upgrades. New enemy, the Pyronaut, will also be introduced, along with new weapons and modifiers. In November, the Stormscraper location will be added. Runs will also be extended to allow the liberation of three towers per run. Two more enemies will be added too, those being Mistmantle and Sparky. Then in December, the Core Affinity feature will be expanded to allow for more upgrades. A new enemy called the Pangolin will be added too.
“We’re really grateful to those who join us in Early Access to try out Battle Shapers, a project our
passionate team is truly pouring their hearts into. In doing so, you’ll also get to see how the
game will grow as we work towards the v1.0 release in 2024”, says Pier-Luc Papineau, Design
Director. “At the time Early Access begins, players will get to experience a portion of what the
final game will offer, providing a great preview of the exciting content to come, some of which
you can see in the team’s roadmap for the rest of the year.”
