Dark Fantasy Grindhouse FPS ‘Unbroken’ Fills the Tarantino Quotient [Video]

Published

on

Developer MGP Studios (creators of the Hotline Miami-esque Project Downfall) has dipped their toes into Tarantino territory with their upcoming grindhouse FPS game, Unbroken. That means over the top “visceral bursts of violence” with a kick that turns inanimate objects into projectiles, coupled with the always-welcome Bullet Time mechanics.

Unbroken takes place in the realm of Crests Edge. You are a nameless stranger on a quest for revenge against a man known as Nielsen. You’ve tracked him to Crests Edge, and now you must bring him to justice, dead or alive. Unfortunately for you, Crests Edge is filled with all sorts of monsters and other denizens that don’t take too kindly to outsiders. Making matters worse is the fact that you have 5 full moons to complete your quest.

Along with the varied environments of Crests Edge, Unbroken obviously features gloriously gory effects. Along with the aforementioned Bullet Time and over-the-top use of anything that’s not nailed down, you have volumetric blood splashing in all directions, as well as being able to see your projectiles ripping holes through your enemies from the point of projectile entry. But if you haven’t got something to kick into your enemies, you can always choose to kick them yourself, launching them up for a wicked combo.

You can check out the demo for Unbroken as part of Steam’s FPS Fest, which wraps up later today. Look out for Unbroken later this year.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
