UniqKiller: A Customizable Top-Down Shooter Making Waves at Gamescom Latam
UniqKiller, a top-down shooter developed by Sao Paulo-based HypeJoe Games, generated significant buzz at Gamescom Latam. The game, showcased in a vibrant yellow booth, offered attendees a compelling demo, resulting in high traffic and a noticeable presence of HypeJoe branded merchandise throughout the event.
HypeJoe aims to differentiate UniqKiller in a crowded shooter market through its unique isometric perspective and extensive customization options. While the top-down view offers a fresh angle, the game's true strength lies in its player agency. The developers emphasize the importance of individuality, allowing players to create and personalize their "Uniqs" – both in appearance and combat style – with further customization unlocked through gameplay.
Beyond character creation, players can expect a robust multiplayer experience, including Clan Wars, special events, and fair matchmaking to ensure balanced gameplay.
UniqKiller is slated for release on mobile and PC platforms, with a closed beta scheduled for November 2024. Keep an eye on Pocket Gamer for updates on the full release and an upcoming interview with HypeJoe Games for more insights into their vision.
