crim announced roguelike action game STARNAUT is exiting Steam Early Access on PC and releasing as Mythical Concept: STARNAUT on April 28. The version 1.0 release of Mythical Concept: STARNAUT features new gameplay systems, story content, stages, and a collaboration scenario that connects to crim’s previous work, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.
Here’s an overview of Mythical Concept: STARNAUT, via Steam:
WHAT IS “STARNAUT“?
“STARNAUT” is an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master “survivor-like” game that emphasizes massive Nitro Jumps and Dashes, evading with verticality, synergizing extremely powerful weapons, deep and considered lore, and of course, the strongest force in the universe….love!
Choose your 8 favourite weapons, and annihilate endless hordes of enemies! Feel the excitement of mowing down entire armies of the creeping terror known only as ZOL!
BE CAREFUL!! This game is way too addictive! Time flies when you’re having fun!
Humanity is Extinct. Earth is Lost.
Copiasu, a designer baby created by two AIs, carries the final hopes of humanity. After Earth was torn apart by a multi-dimensional rift, he must dive into the multiverse and take on the mantle of Earth’s final starfarer: Starnaut.
The Ω Rockets, holding Earth’s final records, lie scattered throughout the space between dimensions. Finding and launching them all is the only path to Earth’s rebirth! Driven by this hope, Starnaut forges ahead into the unknown multiverse, ready for anything!
NOTICE: Although this game features “gacha” as a plot element, it is NOT a “gacha game”!! Don’t get it twisted!
The STARNAUT himself, and no one else, carries this torch burning bright, encoded inside his mind and in his heart, and to remember is to care, about each and every bit of it. Truly an enormous responsibility, by any measure.
He is a miracle, but he is still a person, same as you, who needs the love and support of others, and there are things about people that no circumstance can change….
Before the doomsday, people launched the Omega Rockets with thier precious memories and history, but they ended up landing in multiverse!
Starnaut runs today to find out if all of the rockets were launched back, so the Earth will be ressurected. …or not!?
