Project Haven has just earned huge recognition after being selected as the finalist in the Nordic Game Discovery Contest Season V during GameDev Camp in Lisbon. The other two titles competing were art house murder mystery Who Killed Mr. White from Notagamestudio, and 3D puzzle stealth side-scroller Tamed: The Unseen Show from PopCoin Studios.
So what is Project Haven? It is a squad based tactical game that is set in the last city of Earth called Haven. You will get to experience cutting-edge technology that meets old-school design in this story-driven title. Players can step into the adventure solo or play co-op across a massive 45+ mission campaign.
Check out the trailer below:
In Project Haven, players lead the Steel Dragons, a mercenary outfit fighting for survival (and profit) on the mean streets of Haven City, the last metropolis on Earth. A corrupt government rules from above, as criminal gangs roam in the alleys of the city’s poorer districts. It’s a tough, violent place where a streetwise merc can make a lot of money, or die trying. Recruit a team of mismatched mercs, take contracts from the wealthy and fight. Project Haven features detailed turn-based tactical squad combat.
Project Haven is planned for a release next year in 2022, and as mentioned before, the full version of the game will come with more than 45 campaign missions, plenty of uniquely voiced mercenaries that you can command, and get access to an arsenal of weaponry to master and customize.
Key Features:
- Surgical precision – Our unique free-aiming system allows players to manually target every shot from a close third-person perspective. Aim for the head for a quick takedown, arms to reduce a target’s accuracy, slow them with a leg-shot or just disarm them entirely by shooting the gun out of their hands.
- Flexible tactical combat – Hunker down or lean into cover. Use stealth to avoid detection. Throw grenades or heal your mercs. Hack locks or demolish walls to get to your enemies. Navigate the city streets without restrictive square or hex grids.
- A deep sci-fi story – Sink into Haven City and learn the harsh realities of humanity’s crumbling final bastion. Explore the lives of your mercs and experience a story-driven campaign with fully voiced and motion-captured characters and cinematics.
- Assemble your squad – Command a group of mercenaries, each with their own unique personality and attitudes towards their peers. Improve their stats and unlock new skills as they gain battle experience and level up.
- This is my weapon – Guns are the tools of your trade, and behave just as they do in real life. Manage magazines and different types of ammo for different situations. Calibers and ammunition types affect how far and how well projectiles penetrate and damage the target. Never forget that last bullet in the chamber, too – it might just save your neck.
- Work with or destroy your friends – Play solo or cooperatively up to four players across the entire story campaign, or skirmish (PvP or PvE) in randomly generated maps.
