Canadian developer Mutant Realm Entertainment has released their debut title, Lightphobe, on Steam Early Access. The asymmetrical cooperative multiplayer blends tactical third person actions with first person shooting in highly competitive deathmatches.
Grab some friends and pick a side. Both online and offline battles pit well-armed soldiers defending the Earth against ethereal skeletal creatures known as Lightphobes.
Armed to the teeth, Lightphobes are creatures who are invincible within the darkness, but completely vulnerable in the light. Made up from the stuff of unearthly nightmares, these creatures only want to rip every living thing to shreds. To stop these vicious skeletal nightmares, the military has sent in specialists who can equip 5 different loadouts allowing for a variety of playstyles.
Gameplay features both first-person shooter and third-person melee action. Soldiers operate as first-person shooters while Lightphobes use third-person melee action. Up to 16 players in multiplayer can pick either side and fight for dominance in deathmatches. Both peer-to-peer networking and dedicated servers are supported. Work together, win together.
A Steam Early Access trailer for Lightphobe is available for viewing below and on YouTube. The trailer features both soldiers and skeletal Lightphobes fighting against each other with a hard pounding soundtrack fitting for the fast-paced action.
Lightphobe Availability
Immediately following the successful demo debut at last week’s Steam Next Fest, Lightphobe is available in Early Access on Windows PC via Steam for $5.99. A 10% off introductory offer runs until February 29, 2024. The game’s demo is still available on Steam at press time.
