In Spain, video games are also made. Some of them have nothing to envy compared to those from other countries. Although it may not seem like it, we live in a country that is a powerhouse in the video game industry, especially when it comes to indies, and as such, we should show them more love and respect. Pay more attention to them. Consider them more. That’s exactly what we are going to do now. Talk about one of the most promising games of this year.
“Laika: Aged Through Blood” is a game developed by Brainwash Gang, known for games like “Friends vs. Friends,” “Nongunz,” or “The Longest Road on Earth.” After four years of development, its release was announced last June, still without a specific date, but with a trailer and a spectacular demo of over an hour available on Steam. Now we know its release date, and it’s right around the corner: October 19th.
This game, described by its developers as a “motorvania,” is a mix between a shooter and a 2D platformer. In it, players will embody a mother coyote seeking revenge after occupying military forces take the lives of her people. The way to do it will be the only possible one in a post-apocalyptic world consumed by the desert: with acrobatics and bullets.
Always riding on our motorcycle, we will have to speed through desolate landscapes while taking down our enemies with gunfire. At the same time, we’ll have to reload our weapons with acrobatics, use the bottom of the vehicle to block bullets, and employ our shots to parry attacks. All this while the story tells a dramatic tale of loss, where hope for a better future is never absent.
As mentioned earlier, Laika: Aged Through Blood will be released on October 19th for PC. It will also be launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch at a future date yet to be announced.
