Indie developer Mommy’s Best Games has launched the pre-order of Weapon of Choice DX for the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One consoles. The full launch of the game is set for 2nd September this year where it will also launch on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
The game is a traditional rung and gun shooter but filled with innovations. While it keeps to the traditional genre of running through levels and shooting weird aliens, the game now comes with enhancements such as Death-Brushing and the Spider-Pack, making it an original gameplay experience.
The DX version of Weapon of Choice improves the award-winning XBLIG hit with difficulty rebalancing, hidden collectibles, a new widescreen layout, and uprezzed 4K art.
Lead designer Nathan Fouts had this to say,
“Let’s just say if you love run ‘n’ gun games like I do, you’re probably… of a certain age. Which means your reflexes are getting slower, and your eyesight is getting worse. I’ve worked hard to address these issues with Weapon of Choice DX. The biggest addition is ‘Death-Brushing’, which gives players a slow-motion ability just as they almost die. As a gamer, after a hard day, this makes it much easier to plop down, shoot some aliens and have a blast. And if you’re looking for an old-school challenge you can still kick up the difficulty and play without the help!
If you’re experienced, you’ve probably played a lot of run ‘n’ guns. Weapon of Choice DX stays true to the formula but makes lots of exciting tweaks. There is no regular ‘life’ system, but instead, each of your three lives is a unique character with their own ‘weapon of choice’. And you can gain new ‘lives’ by rescuing new characters hidden throughout the game! There’s seven totally unique characters to control. Plus when you die, you can rocket back into battle, literally, with the Vengeance Missile! Experienced gamers will love the innovations, and new players will have plenty to enjoy as well.
