Devolver Digital (due to course) and developer DeadToast Leisure have introduced Shotgun Cop Man, the studio’s subsequent freewheeling shooter after its debut title My Pal Pedro.
Described by the 2 studios as a “devilishly enjoyable ballistic platformer”, Shotgun Cop Man sees the titular shotgun cop man descending into the depths of hell so as to arrest Devil. Sure, you learn that proper.
When you’ve performed My Pal Pedro, then you’ll be able to most likely guess that this recreation seemingly will not be too heavy on the story. In any case, in Shotgun Cop Man’s debut trailer, our hero yells at Devil to freeze, upon which he says “fuck you, Shotgun Cop Man” and flees. It is that kind of soiree.
Gameplay-wise, Shotgun Cop Man guarantees to proceed My Pal Pedro’s frenetic dual-wielding shooter gameplay, albeit with a way more pleasing to the attention (for me, at the least) 2D visible fashion.
You may go in armed with Shotgun Cop Man’s signature boomstick and pistol, however you may additionally be capable to purchase different weapons on-site. You will not simply be utilizing the weapons to shoot dangerous guys, both; you may even be utilizing them to traverse the world, propelling your self by way of hell by the ability of bullets.
Devolver and DeadToast are promising a “hand-crafted marketing campaign” to get pleasure from, in addition to additional No Injury and Speedrun modes in the event you actually wish to check your abilities towards the hordes of hell.
You may take a look at the debut trailer for Shotgun Cop Man proper right here.
In addition to the aforementioned modes, Shotgun Cop Man may even allow you to create your individual ranges, and others can play them for “countless replayability”. In any case, Shotgun Cop Man goes to want a reasonably convincing excuse to hold round hell after Devil has been arrested.
You can take a look at Shotgun Cop Man on PC and Swap when it launches later this yr, and a PC demo is out there to check out proper now. If you wish to refresh your reminiscence as regards to DeadToast, you’ll be able to take a look at our My Pal Pedro assessment right here.
