Kongregate’s Gridd: Retroenhanced Launches on Steam
May 16 2017 - 2:23PM
Kongregate, a leading publisher of mobile, web, and PC games, today
launched their first original title on Steam, GRIDD: Retroenhanced.
GRIDD is a fast-paced arcade style shoot ‘em up, with ‘80’s
inspired graphics modernized for today’s high-powered gaming
devices. It is regularly priced at $11.99 but is currently 10% off
for a limited time on Steam.
From Italian indie developer, Antab Studio, GRIDD:
Retroenhanced is a unique mix of anti-gravity racing fused with an
old school arcade shooter. It takes the traditional top down arcade
shooter gameplay and turns it on its head with a fully 3D point of
view, dynamic camera angles, and a next-gen, neon visual style.
Players are dropped into the role of an elite hacker violating an
AI-protected super advanced mainframe. They will have to race
through cyberspace, avoiding the viruses sent by the AI and
eventually go head-to-head with the corrupted artificial
intelligence system.
"GRIDD is our love letter to games, hacking movies, and
cyberpunk culture that emerged from the 1980's," said Andrea
Tabacco of Antab Studio. "We wanted to return players to the arcade
halls of their youth but with graphics and gameplay enhancements
that take full advantage of today's technology.”
“It’s fitting that GRIDD is the first original title we’re
bringing to Steam as a publisher,” said John Cooney, Director of
Premium Games at Kongregate. “The game’s stellar quality level and
just plain fun gameplay are exactly why we’re diversifying into
Steam publishing. Our goal is to support talented developers know
matter what platform they’re working on and the team at Anatab
Studios blew us away with GRIDD: Retroenhanced. We’re honored they
decided to work with Kongregate.”
GRIDD: Retroenhanced is now available on Steam and is coming
soon to Xbox One & The Windows Store. It will be regularly
priced at $11.99, but is 10% off for a limited time. You can find
more information about the game at the official website.
