Marcus Grambau and Andy Sum, the developer behind massive mobile hit Crossy Road, have unveiled TombStar – a rootin’, tootin’ top-down “space Western” shooter, which will be making its way to PC and consoles next year.
Unfolding at the outer reaches of the Frontier Galaxy, TombStar pits players against an assortment of gun-toting miscreants – “from pistol-wielding cowpokes to robots with death lasers”, according to the official announcement – across four visually distinct planets.
What follows is a blend of “tough, bullet hell gunplay and winding procedural exploration” (with roguelike elements) inspired by 80s cartoons, all of which can be tackled using one of three playable renegades, each with their own special powers.
