Risk System brings shmup action with a twist to your Switch
If you’re a shmup fan, you’ll be happy to learn that the anime-inspired Risk System will be available on Switch very soon. Hidden Trap and Newt Industries revealed the release date for the highly anticipated title today alongside a brand new trailer. Risk System is a handcrafted sci-fi adventure that brings a unique twist to the genre. Players must charge up their attacks by getting as close as possible to enemy fire or by taking damage. The more risks you take, the more powerful you become -hence the title. Players take on the role of ace pilot Alys and take on a dangerous species of energy parasites that crossed a dimensional gate by mimicking replicated materials. With humankind quickly overtaken, all hope lies with Alys’ ship, the RSK9, which can feed on the parasites’ energy. The gorgeous-looking horizontal shmup title was handcrafted by Newt Industries, a two-person studio that emphasizes both aesthetics and the feel of play.
KEY FEATURES
*Increase your B-Meter and firepower by flying as close to enemy fire as possible and absorbing their energy. The more times you do it, the easier it will be to destroy the parasites.
*Perform special Risk Shots to attack and turn the energy into power for your shield. Sometimes, the best defense is a risky offense!
*Use barrel rolls to quickly cover vertical space and modify your attack.
*Unleash the Barrier Breaker once the B-Meter is full to inflict huge damage on everything in sight!
*Set your destiny according to your mission performance and the results you get. Remember that everybody counts on you to save thousands of lives.
*Focus on the final goal or play hard to get a higher score in each level. Use Risk Shots to destroy multiple enemies at once, string combos and increase your score multiplier.
*Delight yourself with the gorgeous, pixelated art style of the game, which tributes to some famous side-scrolling shoot-’em-up games from the 80s and 90s.
Risk System will launch on the 15th of July for €9.99 and is now available for pre-purchase.
