Independent developer, Evocat Games announced that the sequel to the award winning Nemesis Perspective, Nemesis Realms, is on its way to early access. Featuring “asymmetrical local fighting action”, Nemesis Realms is an interactive, competitive, strategic party game that lets up to four heroes team up against one monstrous boss on the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality for the ultimate clash of strength and strategy.
“We’re excited to bring this game to Early Access. It really is an incredibly fun party game where friends get to team up to destroy the mighty boss - who in turn gets to experience the onslaught in VR!” said Sami Koivisto, CEO of Evocat Games. “As an added bonus, we will be offering Nemesis Perspective as free-to-play when Nemesis Realms launches so that everyone can easily jump in and enjoy the truly unique style of this VR game”.
Nemesis Realms features local co-op for up to 5 players, one of which assumes control of the gargantuan boss monster in VR, while the other gamers play as smaller heroes on regular controllers, working together to take down the boss. Nemesis Realms will feature two distinct stages available at the time of Early Access launch, each with a unique hero-boss pairing, a variety of gameplay mechanics and new environments. The two stages available at the Early Access launch features a fantasy mountaintop with a lake and waterfalls. Using straightforward VR mechanics, the boss must punch and pulverize the heroes, while they use their small size and nimble moves to hack, slash and hurl projectiles at the boss.
The second stage is inside an old, dark cathedral, housing a giant, three-headed dragon (which the VR player controls) who can use the environment to its advantage, in addition to smashing the heroes with close combat attacks. The heroes in this stage use a combination of 2D platformer mechanics and action combat, dashing and diving to avoid the deadly heads while performing close and ranged attacks to bring down the beast.
Nemesis Realms will be out on Early Access January 22nd.
