In the brand new trailer for Blazing Legion: Ignition, an upcoming first-person shooter with mechs stomping round on the bottom and whizzing by means of the air, the motion is so quick and vibrant that YouTube’s video compression runs all of the jet trails and bullet blasts into a giant ol’ smear. This is superb. This is my new take a look at for any shooter claiming “bullet hell” attributes: can it overwhelm YouTube? Give me colors and provides me pace. Blazing Legion appears to ship these properly, wrapped in clean tunes and a narrative about our high gun pilot and her previous. Have a glance:
Heck sure, let’s go. Roll on 2018. I’ve been watching the sport for some time, seeing lead developer Ethan Redd tweet clips and bits, and I like the way it’s coming alongside. You may also know Redd from top-down retro racer Rad Road Rally and his artwork for our on-line world shooter Black Ice (whose early entry progress I actually ought to make amends for).
Developers Virtuoso Neomedia describe Blazing Legion as “an introspective, character driven, tactical first person bullet-hell about mecha and the consequences of becoming who you have to be”, which is an fascinating sentence to make certain. I like the colors and the explosions and the music (by SkyBridge) and the wanting pensively in a mirror.
Blazing Legion: Ignition is due a while in 2018. If you fancy following it, the game’s site has signups for a e-newsletter.
