Dans le cadre du festival Tacticon 2023, Firesquid annonce qu’une nouvelle démo est disponible via Steam pour ce futur jeu dans lequel on dirige une escouade de Space Commandos. Jeu a priori inspiré de XCOM, Space Hulk et du film Aliens, et qui offrira à terme un gameplay en tour par tour très tactique et incluant une dimension RPG-Lite, jeu de rôle allégé si vous préférez, permettant de développer ses différents personnages. Si ce cocktail vous intrigue, vous pouvez essayer soit une opération, trois missions qui s’enchaînent, soit douze missions uniques sur trois cartes différentes, cela avec cinq niveaux de difficulté.
Au passage voici d’une part en en-tête une courte bande-annonce diffusée l’automne dernier, et d’autre part une nouvelle vidéo présentant rapidement Ultimate Space Commando, précédent jeu sorti en 2015 et sur la base duquel les développeurs ont entrepris de faire une suite de plus grande ampleur.
Pour plus d’informations sur USC Counterforce, dont la sortie est prévue ultérieurement cette année, voyez cette page sur Steam et le site officiel.
