UniqKiller: A Customizable Top-Down Shooter Hitting Mobile and PC
Making waves at Gamescom Latam, UniqKiller, a top-down shooter from Sao Paulo-based HypeJoe Games, is poised to shake up the mobile gaming scene. The game boasts extensive customization options, a key differentiator in a crowded shooter market. Its prominent presence at Gamescom, evidenced by a bustling yellow booth and widely seen HypeJoe branded bags, suggests considerable pre-release buzz.
HypeJoe's innovative approach employs an isometric, top-down perspective, a departure from the typical first-person shooters. However, the real draw is the deep character customization. The developers emphasize the desire for player individuality in 2024, allowing players to create unique "Uniqs" with distinct appearances and combat styles. Customization unlocks progressively as you play, extending beyond aesthetics to encompass skills and fighting techniques.
UniqKiller features standard multiplayer elements including Clans, Clan Wars, special events, and missions. HypeJoe aims for fair matchmaking, ensuring players face opponents of similar skill levels.
Targeting both mobile and PC platforms, UniqKiller is slated for a closed beta in November 2024. Keep an eye on Pocket Gamer for updates and a potential upcoming interview with HypeJoe Games for further insights.
