Heroes DLC voor Resogun deze week beschikbaar

Wij waren lyrisch in onze review toen Resogun vorig jaar samen met de release van de PlayStation 4 verscheen. De game kende wat weinig content, maar daar komt verandering in, zo laat ontwikkelaar Housemarque weten.

Resogun heeft gisteren al een update gekregen en dat is de voorbereiding op wat er woensdag zal verschijnen, namelijk de ‘Heroes’ DLC. Deze extra content laat je een eigen schip creëren en gebruiken in het spel, het voegt een lokale co-op modus toe, nieuwe Trophies en twee nieuwe modi: Demolition en Survival.

Genoeg content om de game weer eens op te pakken en wat uurtjes mee te vermaken, niet?

Ship editor:
One of the more requested features since the world first got a look at “dem voxels” was the ability to create your own ship. Housemarque listened and created a fully featured Ship Editor for you to play with as part of this free update! Design your own ship from the ground up using a detailed voxel editor. Position the afterburners and weapons, set your own attributes to govern the ships skill at agility, boost and overdrive and choose either of the standard weapon sets for your ride.

Local co-op:
Another much requested feature was the ability to play local co-op in game and the good folks at Housemarque have heard you and added that to the expansion too.

More Trophies:
We love a good trophy set and were really proud that so many of you achieved the platinum after the game launched. We worked long and hard to make a set that was a challenge but still achievable and we’re incredibly proud that we were a lot of player’s first platinum trophy on PS4. Because we like trophies and we like to spoil you all, we added trophies to not only the forthcoming expansion but also to this free update too!

Hall of Fame:
Since release we’ve seen you battling it out for the top scores on the leaderboards and go all out to save the last humans. Some player’s blew our minds in terms of the scores they could achieve and others… well some others surprised us with the discovery of some really sneaky exploits.

New modes:
Two brand new modes called ‘Survival’ and ‘Demolition’. In essence Survival is an endless mode that retains a lot of the core mechanics from the original Arcade mode. The Day/Night cycle is another really prominent feature of the new Survival mode, and as you play, the varying time of day provides a great aesthetic and visual indication, letting you know how far you have come.

Demolition is my personal favourite and a quantum leap from the original gameplay mechanics. “Arkanoid meets RESOGUN” is one way to sum it up. Basically you get a “Wrecking Ball” that you manipulate to demolish all that comes in your way. That plus a lot of special pickups that totally change the way the game kills you; multiball, extra balls, ball launching, ball level ups, (i.e. lots of balls) etc.
