Final Horizon update – new screens and more
Yesterday, Eiconic Games give our very own Blondlizard an update on intergalactic tower defence game, Final Horizon. I’ll now hand you over to your favourite reptilian gamer for the latest lowdown. Jay
Simon Credland shows the ‘colour script’ from screenshots taken from Final Horizon and explains how the story flows from one planet to another colour via the storyboard.
Final Horizon is a cinematic experience right from the beginning as the sun breaks over the Horizon of Vega Delta. Your journey will take you to 15 planets across the three solar systems with the 3D level select menus. With more planets than Destiny, you will face the insect-like Swarm from the deserts of Nhandu, on the sub-zero Ushtuk to the alien worlds of Kondoi.
Each planet has it’s own personality that affects the gameplay. The ice planets are so cold the mechanical Chaingun won’t function so you’ll need to bring the heat with the ‘Afterburner’ flamethrower. There are five different Killstreaks across the planets and the Swarm will attack in ever more ingenious and deadly waves.
Final Horizon is a fast paced tower defence game with 53 intense levels. The game has a platinum trophy and comes to PS Vita and PlayStation 4 soon.
Punk and Lizard have followed Final Horizon from its very early stages and it’s certainly looking to be something special.
Simon from Eiconic Games will be showing off the game on the Sony PS4 stand at Eurogamer/Egx. Be sure to check this one out!
