The action platformer ChainStaff is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) on April 8th. It will cost $14.99. The game is newly announced for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
ChainStaff is a fast-paced action game where you use a spear that can transform into a grappling hook. You’ll unlock powerful weapon upgrades while battling aliens who have invaded Earth! Swing through levels, shoot enemies, and use your spear to defeat waves of monstrous creatures and challenging bosses, all to a great soundtrack.
Earth is facing a dangerous invasion by Star Spores, which have transformed many creatures into aggressive, giant insects.
Even worse, a nasty alien has made its new home directly attached to your head.
Fortunately, things aren’t hopeless! Your new companion gives you the power to fight the mutated creatures and wield the ChainStaff – a weapon that could turn the tide of the battle for humanity.
While exploring this strange world, you’ll find other soldiers who are struggling to survive. Will you help them, or follow a mysterious voice telling you to take their resources to become more powerful?
If you can persevere and defeat the Star Spores, perhaps you can save everyone… including yourself.
Key Features
- Master the ChainStaff – Hurl it as a spear and slice aliens in half. Throw it to the ground as a shield to stop incoming attacks. Grapple and swing on anything. The transforming ChainStaff does all this and more, and all with one button. It’s all up to you.
- You Died – Pounded to mush. Stabbed through the heart. Sheared in two. Prepare to meet your doom in a myriad of disgusting ways. All deaths are avoidable, but some dangers may require special strategies.
- Ferocious Foes – The creatures of Earth have been mutated by the aliens: you’ll come across dozens of unusual creatures, and once you get past those, you’ll have to fight against the screen-filling monstrosities.
- Grotesque Upgrades – Stranded soldiers dot the landscape of ChainStaff. You have to choose whether to rescue them or devour their organs; each option has unique benefits and will lead to different endings.
- 10 Wild Levels – Mist trails around rocky crags. Wind blows over icy, moon-lit hills. Water streams down mossy cliffs. Fully hand-drawn art immerses you in a living world inspired by album covers of the 70s and 80s.
- Killer Soundtrack – Scorching riffs and peals of thunder. Pumping beats drive you ever forward. Rock out to the classic metal soundtrack by the award-winning composer Deon van Heerden of Broforce and Warhammer 40000: Shootas, Blood & Teef soundtrack fame. There’s some lighter interludes with 70s synth, catchy melodies, and even some cowbell. Now it’s back to the heavy tracks, where it’s time to bang your head while smashing skulls.
A new trailer will premiere below on February 4 at 2:00 a.m. PT / 5:00 a.m. ET.
