UniqKiller, a top-down shooter boasting extensive customization options, made its official debut at Gamescom Latam in Brazil. Developed by Sao Paulo-based HypeJoe Games, the game attracted significant attention at the event, with a consistently busy booth and widely seen HypeJoe tote bags. The isometric perspective, while a departure from the usual first-person shooter format, is complemented by a strong emphasis on player individuality.
HypeJoe aims to differentiate UniqKiller in a crowded market by prioritizing extensive character customization. Players can create unique “Uniqs,” with further customization options unlocked through gameplay. This extends beyond aesthetics; players can also tailor their Uniqs' skills and combat styles.
The multiplayer aspect includes Clans, Clan Wars, special events, and missions. HypeJoe emphasizes fair matchmaking to ensure balanced gameplay for players of all skill levels.
UniqKiller is slated for release on mobile and PC, with a closed beta scheduled for November 2024. Stay tuned to Pocket Gamer for updates and an upcoming interview with HypeJoe Games.
