If you have been looking for that perfect game to break in your next-generation hardware with a friend, the stars might have just aligned. Developer Shapefarm and publisher Kepler Interactive are building a brand-new cooperative sci-fi adventure from the ground up: Orbitals.
Even better? Physical pre-orders are officially live right now at Playasia, with the intergalactic journey scheduled to drop on September 3.
What is Orbitals?
Orbitals is a co-op puzzle adventure set in a striking retro anime universe. Instead of just adding a second player as an afterthought, the entire game mechanics dictate that you must work together to survive.
You control Maki and Omura, two young explorers living aboard a bustling space station. When a supernatural cosmic storm hits, trapping their home, the inseparable pair must venture into uncharted, dangerous sectors of deep space to find a way to save it.
The game masterfully weaves together structural environmental puzzles, classic side-scrolling platforming, intense action sequences, and a deeply emotional coming-of-age story centered around hope and friendship.
