Bourbontank announced Cosmonator, a top-down RPG/Shoot-em-up hybrid with a focus on custom character builds and tight gameplay, is available on Steam.
Cosmonator is a shoot-em-up at heart, but infused with the kind of deep character building elements that are typical of RPGs into its gameplay. Slowly build up your ship to suit your particular playing style: Perhaps you prefer a passive build that focuses on high firepower, strong sideships, specially customized homing missiles and a drone that fires automatically at any moving enemies? Or a tank build with strong shields, armor, and defensive special abilities? Or a spellcaster with numerous devastating special attacks – and the ability to control time?
Each weapon, upgrade, ability and spell in Cosmonator is separately customisable so you can build up exactly the character you want. Add to this a massive level content (40 main missions and more than 20 optional unlockable side-missions), including a legion of epic boss battles, and you’re guaranteed to keep coming back for more – even after the first playthrough.
