A multiplayer, alien survival game set in an open, sandbox world
Catania, ITALY – Wednesday, January 20, 2021 – The indie development team KaleJump Games presents: “Drake's Odds: Survive”. An addictive and extravagant alien survival game in which it will be possible to take control of enemies.
“Drake's Odds: Survive” is an open world multiplayer that will allow you to immerse yourself in the vintage atmosphere of 1980’s America, which blends with the alien sci-fi graphic style.
In the exploration of the game the player experiences and learns survival from the point of view of an alien, who, finding himself in an unknown planet, will make use of the powers and technology in his possession to collect from the enemies the necessary knowledge so that he can discover and understand the environment that surrounds him.
The question to ask is: why always play the role of the human who must defend himself from invaders? In this overwhelming survival shooter game, you will finally be able to experience the feeling of being on the opposite side of the fence. Take on earthly creatures or use them to your advantage by using control of their body and mind to harness their skills and knowledge.
PLOT
It was the year 1947 when humanity found out a possibility had become undeniable reality. A mysterious alien civilization coming from the planet Exomon landed on our planet, and was welcomed with open arms by humans with a thirst for knowledge of the arcane marvels of a new world… and the infinite possibilities that were attainable through the use of their technology.
Many years later, the arrival of new Exomians looking for their old fellows they had presumed lost becomes a historic event that lays the groundwork for a new future: a pact of coexistence and non-aggression, a pacific agreement between two worlds completely different from each other. But the truce will not last: an unexpected betrayal by the first aliens towards their brethren will show the real face of humankind and pit against each other the two sides, the first aliens, allied with humans, lashed out at the newly arrived aliens, in a move that will reverse the dynamics of a power game that everyone is trying to enact.
With the unreachable mothership awaiting and orbiting over the Earth, survive as an alien against the treacherous humans and their own, backstabbing kind, as a stranger in a strange land looking for a way to return back home, in a race against time and everyone else while making use of every means at your disposal.
The goal is the same for all involved: vanquish the other. But who will?
GAME MECHANICS
Race against time and your enemies: the duration of each game is limited and the game servers will be reset. But first, a tough challenge awaits you: launch the mothership and return to Exomon! Don't get caught unprepared ... Build and upgrade your base to prevent them from stealing your loot; craft ever more powerful items and weapons and of course ... survive your enemies!
Craft the means of your survival: weapons and platforms will be of precious use to face any situation against any enemy: craft a bulletproof vest or a respawning point near your base of operations and begin the counterstrike!
Learn from the earthlings and fight fire with fire: from enemy corpses you will collect knowledge points that will help you find out how to build objects and weapons you need to survive and to face and triumph in the final challenge.
Fight or ally with the other factions but always watch your back! In “Drake's Odds: Survive”, danger is around the corner, what appears to be a harmless bird could turn out to be the spy of the enemy clan studying your movements.
Possess the life-forms around you and make the most of them in battle: thanks to your alien abilities you can, for example, control a bear and unleash it on your foes. But be aware and keep in mind that the effect will eventually run out and your strategies could backfire very easily.
Sense and identify those around you: are they friendly or hostile? Other players or NPCs? Breathe a sigh of relief or shudder in panic but act either away… because whatever you can do, anyone else can too.
Fly over the skies of the map with the spaceship with which you can hook and drag characters and vehicles with its beam of light and hit enemies with its powerful laser beam.
Dominate the planet Earth with advanced technology, cunning, skills and strategies to reach the hierarchical heights of the territory.
ENVIRONMENTS
With an impressive 64 km² of available landscapes that you’ll be able to explore with terrestrial vehicles (such as automobiles or quads) or extraterrestrial machinery (such as spaceships), take a look around and enjoy urban terrains, forests, underground caverns and hypertechnologic, sci-fi bases, all of it rendered with breathtaking details taking advantage and pushing to the full extent the capabilities of Unreal Engine 4™.
“Drake's Odds: Survive” was born from the idea of Enzo Musmeci, founder & Creative director of Kalejump Games, who inspired by the history and style of the Destroy All Humans saga, gave life to a game that combined the alien sci-fi style to a genre that has risen strongly in recent years: the one of survival games (see for example titles like Rust or DayZ).
"The choice of the alien as the protagonist was dictated by wanting to experience survival from a new perspective, as well as wanting to give more freedom in the choice of a more articulated and characteristic gameplay with the addition of alien powers, weapons and devices, which allow you to produce new and exhilarating game scenarios. "
"Drake's Odds: Survive" will be released in early access in 2022 for PC.
