Argentinian developer Saibot Studios has partnered with the veteran developer and now publisher Nimble Giant to release the hardcore retro shooter Hellbound. The title is an homage to the 90s shooter of the same name and will release via Steam next month on August 4.
After the successful Kickstarter and releasing popular demos that gave players a taste of the bloodbath, the team is excited to finally release the brutal game.
Check out the gameplay trailer below:
The game will immediately transport you to Hell, a once sacred place that is now home to unspeakable evils, where carnage of their own design awaits them. Players will assume the role of Hellgore, a hulking brute that in his own words, is all about “blood, nukes, earthquakes, serious action, and most importantly, BIG F***ING GUNS!
Tobias Rusjan from Saibot Studios had this to say,
Hellbound: Survival Mode has been available on Steam for two years, and the response from old school shooter fans has been incredible! We’ve learned a lot since the demo’s release, and have fueled that into the creation of a full-fledged campaign that will test players’ mettle as they carve their way through demons as fast as they can! Speed is the name of the game in Hellbound.
On the other hand, CCO of Nimble Giant Entertainment, Andres Chilkowski talked about the studio’s first title as a publisher,
This is a milestone for everyone at Nimble Giant as Hellbound is the first project where we are acting as a publisher. Partnering up with Saibot Studios was a great fit as both companies share a passion for the genre, a true commitment to quality and the ambition to deliver great games made in LatAm
