Zeist, the Netherlands, 2nd January 2024 – Indie developers Alterego Games and The Naked Dev, have today announced the release of City of Springs - Craft & modify your robot drones to fight off a cruel regime in this steampunk adventure game.
City of Springs
You play as Val, a brilliant mechanic from the big slum district of the last city on earth. A cruel and strict regime controls every aspect of life in the city, and any transgression is taken out of your rations. The city is like a broken clock.
Someone has to stand up to the ministries and fix it.
Gameplay
In City of Springs you craft and modify your drones to fight the robotic guards of the city in one-on-one duels, where timing and strategy are key. You explore the city's nooks and crannies for resources to help craft new abilities, help the people where they need the most, and sneak your way around the guards and cameras that guard the streets.
The game is like an indie interpretation of Horizon Zero Dawn with Clash of Clans-like combat, but then completely different.
“We wanted a game in which the player has the freedom to choose whether to fight or sneak their way towards their goal. A story-driven game with lots of gameplay that is casual in nature, so the game is accessible to a broad audience. A game that rewards the exploration of the world and makes the players feel they are making a real change to the world.” – Vincent da Silva, Lead Game Designer.
Features:
- Combat guards in unique 1-on-1 combat
- Crouch and sneak your way past cameras and enemies undetected.
- Collect story-content tapes featuring live-action videos.
- Explore an enormous city divided into five quadrants, each with its own challenges.
- Enjoy an elaborate story as it enfolds across 32 main quests and 43 sidequests in 8-20 hours of gameplay.
City of Springs excels with a sprawling dystopian world that harbours big surprises. The unique combat, the rich atmosphere of the city, the live-action video content and the tailored soundtrack make City of Springs a must-play title.
City of Springs is now available to wishlist on Steam.
