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 Latam, evidenced by a bustling yellow booth and widely seen HypeJoe tote bags, suggests significant pre-release interest.
HypeJoe's decision to adopt an isometric, top-down perspective offers a unique twist, though the studio's true focus lies in player customization. Recognizing the modern gamer's desire for individuality, UniqKiller allows players to create truly unique characters – or "Uniqs" – with extensive cosmetic and gameplay options unlocked through continued play. This customization extends beyond appearance, influencing combat styles and skills.
The game features standard multiplayer elements including Clans, Clan Wars, special events, and missions. HypeJoe emphasizes fair matchmaking, ensuring players face opponents of similar skill levels.
UniqKiller is slated for release on mobile and PC platforms, with a closed beta scheduled for November 2024. Keep an eye on Pocket Gamer for updates and an upcoming interview with HypeJoe Games for more in-depth insights.
