A new fast-paced, top-down action game is rolling out a demo next month for Steam Next Fest called Wakerunners. Originally announced as Project TB in 2022, developer MINTROCKET (Dave the Diver, Nakwon: Last Paradise) released the first gameplay trailer for this unique spin on the MOBA genre.
What is Wakerunners?
Set in the near future of a dystopian earth, players join teams of 4 or 5 and choose from a cast of characters with their own unique personalities, abilities, and battle styles. With the competitive video game landscape where it is thanks to games like League of Legends, Apex Legends, and Overwatch 2, a diverse group of characters is a must-have in the hero genre of games.
Like Overwatch originally intended, Wakerunners allows players to swap their characters mid-battle, allowing them to strategically use various skills throughout a game as they battle for the ravaged earth as members of surviving factions.
According to the Steam Page, the gameplay features close-quarters combat as players glide across the arena at high speeds using unique mechanics to both accelerate and decelerate.
Wakerunners will also have several different modes to play including Team Deathmatch, Control Conquest, Command Siege, Escort, and Raider.
Each player can choose between two roles; a Waker or a Re-Man. While the Steam page doesn’t detail what each role is, it does say that along with every character's unique attack styles, movement techniques, and ultimate abilities, the role you choose will further help vary your playstyle.
