A sequel is on the best way for The Surge, Deck13’s so-so sci-fi Souslike from 2017. The Surge 2 is its title, and broadly attempting to develop and enhance the open-world action-RPG is its recreation. The first laid stable, if unremarkable, foundations of slicing robots and mechs to items so hopefully a sequel can construct upon these properly. Our Adam is on the occasion the place publishers Focus Home in the present day introduced the sport, and I think about he’ll have extra to inform us quickly, however for now right here’s phrase that yup, it’s coming.
Brendy performed the primary recreation, telling us in his The Surge review that Deck13’s sci-fi tackle Dark/Demon Souls is “shonky, inferior and more than a little derivative” however finally, like, okay. “The most telling sentiment of how ‘just OK’ I found the game is that I don’t feel the urge to tenaciously keep fighting on, but I also don’t regret the time I spent with it,” he mentioned. A recreation to select up on sale.
What’s modified with the sequel? Publishers Focus Home say in in the present day’s announcement:
“The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a sprawling, devastated city with larger and more ambitious level design, made possible by Deck13’s upgraded and improved engine. Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system. In addition, more abilities, weapons, implants, and drones give players a vast arsenal to build their character with, in their fight against the array of diverse new enemies and bosses.”
There’s one thing pleasingly video video games in regards to the phrase “expanded limb targeting system.”
The Surge 2 is due in 2019. If you’re curious, the primary recreation has a demo on Steam.
