A Glimpse into Gameplay
Recently, FlipSwitch Games treated eager fans to a comprehensive look at the game's development progress through a nearly 40-minute gameplay video. Set in an open-world environment, players will navigate through various landscapes, from suburban neighborhoods to dense forests, while facing imminent danger from the invading Martians.
Exterminator Mode Unveiled
A surprising revelation in the showcased footage was the introduction of "exterminator mode." This feature allows players to switch perspectives, embodying the ruthless machines and unleashing devastating attacks on humanity. The addition of this mode adds a unique twist to the gameplay dynamics, offering a fresh experience for fans of the War of the Worlds franchise.
Throughout the video, viewers witnessed not only intense combat encounters but also the environmental destruction wrought by the alien invasion. From tornadoes to the spread of the ominous "Red Weed," players will have to navigate through chaos while strategizing their survival.
As development progresses, FlipSwitch Games continues to refine War of the Worlds, which has been in the works for three years. While a release date remains undisclosed, the pre-alpha stage promises exciting prospects for gamers eagerly awaiting the opportunity to fend off Martian invaders or wreak havoc as an alien exterminator.
