00:07Neon lights, anthropomorphic mutants, and an adrenaline-pumping mix of different top-down game mechanics.
00:13This is Hovergrease 2.
00:15A fast-paced arcade-like shooter mixing the elements of twin-stick shooters and hack and slash
00:20with the positioning strategy of a bullet-held game.
00:24Amplified by a roster of 10 mutants, each with their unique gameplay and arsenal of weapons,
00:28Hovergrease 2 has enough variety of gameplay styles to appeal to anyone who is a fan of top-down games.
00:35Hi, I'm Alexandra, creative director of Hovergrease 2,
00:39and in this gameplay trailer I want to give you an overview to help you decide if this is the
00:43right game for you.
00:46Diamond Core Metropolis is a dystopian megacity where both technology and bioengineering have gone wild.
00:53It's a place with shady characters, mischievous plans, and cutthroating assassins for hire,
00:58and our main characters are no different.
01:00Hidden in their secret base, our heroes are public servants of Greece,
01:04a sub-branch agency of Diamond Core Metropolis, focusing exclusively on mutant cases.
01:10Using an industrial laundromat as a front to hide their operations,
01:14the single-player story lets you pick a mutant to investigate a mysterious data anomaly at the old mutant hospital.
01:20The story is a fast-paced chase of different clues and villains, exploring different areas of the metropolis,
01:26from the dirty streets of Lower Downtown to the shiny skyscrapers of the Skyrise District and the palm shores of
01:33Razor Beach.
01:34While the campaign is short, replayability comes from the loadout used for each mutant and the weapons picked up along
01:40the way.
01:40The game feels very different playing with a slash-and-dash character such as Piggy Dee, compared to a long
01:45-range mutant such as Billy Boe,
01:47or the rocket's specialist, Kimmy Frog.
01:49The roster, amplified by the mix of four attacks per mutant, picked from an arsenal of 18 unique attacks,
01:55means even replaying with the same mutant can feel completely different depending on your weapon choices, loadout combinations, and selected
02:03difficulty level.
02:05While we believe the story mode is a must-play experience, we designed Hover Grease 2 as a two-in
02:10-one game,
02:11with the multiplayer offering just as much entertainment and replayability as the single-player campaign.
02:16Unlike traditional hero shooters where characters are locked to fixed abilities,
02:21Hover Grease 2 expands the gameplay with the freedom to shape each mutant around different combat styles and tactical approaches.
02:28This creates a unique experience where your strategy is defined not just by your team composition,
02:32but by how you choose to play each mutant.
02:35Think of the mutants as being grouped into three combat archetypes, close-range, bid-range, and long-range combat.
02:41Each mutant can then be shaped around different play styles depending on their arsenal,
02:46whether focused on offense or defense, precision or area damage, support or pure output.
02:52Each match begins on equal footing before evolving round by round as players earn credits to unlock more powerful equipment.
02:58Throughout the 3-7 round match, objectives dynamically shift across the map, giving the losing team strategic positional advantage to
03:06counterbalance the winning team's stronger arsenal.
03:09With various unlockable skins, emoticons, and charisma moves available through both premium and free battle passes,
03:15we think the multiplayer experience will keep you entertained if this is the game for you.
03:20As a final note, we would like to mention that while the game is launching in a complete state,
03:25with all core features and the full story campaign ready at release,
03:29we are committed to supporting the game through the years ahead with weapon balancing updates,
03:34new maps, new online game modes, and single player enhancements.
03:38This concludes our very short overview.
03:40It's been a pleasure sharing our game with you, and we hope you'll enjoy the fast-paced chaos in the
03:45dystopian bio-cyberpunk world of Hover Grease 2.
