A new trailer for Battle Shapers has gone live, showing off more of the game’s roguelite action, colorful art direction, and confirming an early access release date of October 3 on PC via Steam, GameSpot can exclusively reveal. The first game from studio Metric Empire, Battle Shapers mixes some fast and furious gunplay with boss fights that allow you to harvest the abilities of fallen enemies.
As Ada, a Battle Shaper revived to topple the powerful Overlords who have taken over the city of New Elysium, you’ll need to run and gun your way through hordes of robotic enemies.
You’ll also have a helpful ally named Meemo feeding you valuable intel as you enter each Overlord tower and fight your way to the top in Battle Shapers. Develop your arsenal of weapons, unlock new abilities and permanent upgrades, explore each tower, and eventually defeat the boss at the top. Death is not the end in case your attempt ends in disaster, and each run will allow you to smash your way through their trap-ridden towers with more permanent upgrades that you unlock along the way.
