Ryan McCaffrey wrote:Publisher Atlus and developer Saber Interactive (makers of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Inversion, and TimeShift, among others) and subsidiary Old School Games have announced God Mode, a tongue-in-cheek fast-action third-person shooter due out in early 2013 for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC.
Playing as the descendant of an ancient-God-turned-mere-mortal by Hades, you and up to three co-op mode friends (online or offline) must blast your way through the Maze of Hades and its denizens in order to avoid eternal damnation. All the while, you'll be egged on by a goofy narrator, similar to a wackier version of the "Double Kill" announcer from Halo.
Ryan McCaffrey wrote:"It doesn't take itself too seriously," Saber Interactive and Old School Games head Matthew Karch told IGN. "It is lighthearted fun and focuses on arcade style action over a deep story. I think this makes sense for downloadable games, where players are looking for some quick, thoughtless action."
Character customization, environmental destruction, weapon upgrades and more are the key tenets of the game, which appears to be almost a cross between Serious Sam and Gears of War's Horde mode.
"The first thing we do is tell you how you died," Karch said. "We have come up with some pretty fun ideas for that and they definitely add some lightheartedness to the game."
