Developers Stellar Jockeys have been teasing that they weren’t fairly performed with Brigador‘s grim world of future mech-war, and immediately they introduced the subsequent game within the collection; Brigador Killers. Details are slim, however going by the game’s BitSummit exhibitor page, it seems to be a direct sequel, due out in “2020”. This time, gamers management a Solo Nobrean hit squad, on an off-world mission to seek out some traitors – possible the Brigadors you had been taking part in as final time. Below, a pair extra screenshots, plus some animated GIFs from the developer’s Twitter feed.
For those that won’t have paid consideration to Brigador’s story (and you may be excused for those who didn’t – it was all delivered through simply skipped, albeit excellently written textual content containers), it appears to be like like we’re searching ourselves this time. The titular Brigadors had been anybody who was keen to take up an open-ended contract for the nameless Solo Nobre Concern, soar in a mech or jury-rigged tank and begin taking pictures up their planet’s personal defences. They did a very good job, and Solo Nobre – an remoted backwater underneath unbiased dictatorial rule – is now a part of the bigger galactic neighborhood once more.
Unfortunately you’ll be able to’t conquer a planet with out cracking a couple of eggs. And by cracking, I imply ‘obliterating’ and ‘eggs’ I imply ‘cities’. So, there’s loads of cause for the locals to want revenge on the traitors. An eye for an eye fixed, and the entire world blows up. As nicely as a brand new story set on a brand new planet, the exhibitor web page for the game mentions ‘revised controls’. When asked about this on Twitter, one of many builders responded that they’re including extra choices for “those less directionally inclined”, however the authentic’s default tank-style controls stay.
So far, it appears to be like like extra Brigador. I’m totally available in the market for extra Brigador, particularly if it brings extra selection to the missions. A bit bit extra of every little thing, and I’ll be comfortable. Here’s a pair little animated glimpses (though a bit dated), together with what seems to a a cannon-equipped robo statue on a civilian-squishing rampage.

And some new graphics tech, letting you permit smoking craters round the place you’ve dedicated warfare crimes towards different civilians.

There’s no official web page but for Brigador Killers, however you’ll be able to see the game’s BitSummit page here. We’ll hopefully get to see a few of the game in motion when the present begins on June 1st. If you don’t have it already, the unique game is on Steam, Humble, GOG and Itch for £15/€16/$20, although I’d advocate spending the additional couple quid on the Deluxe version which features a enjoyable tie-in audio-book, and improbable soundtrack.
