Twin stick shooters?

[Diogenes]

I was wondering if Neocore had ever considered the viability of creating a basic twin stick shooter set in the warhammer 40K universe, once their work is done on Martyr?

Nothing special, just a standard twin stick shooter, with the iconic space marines using various weapons like the boltors and such, against wave after wave of orks etc, in a top down view, that sort of game.

An arcady, dungeon running, casual shoot em up experience, not unlike games like Halo Spartan Assault or How to Survive Two... Only more shooty.

Helldivers in WH40K yeah thought about that one for a long time.

Keep meaning to pick a copy of that up.

Thought about similar before tbh, take it a step further though with variety of vehicles to crew... multiple races and pvp?! This could be a good pvp testbed, not sure how successful it would be in a game like this.

Did anyone ever play Battlswarm back in the day? always thought an FPS+ top down strategy hybrid 40k would be cool. It was a good concept, but had afew issues, though i think it lacked lore an IP and marketing.

A squad/small number of human players (3rd person+fps) would have to hold out defending a base ( abit like last stand^^) vs 2 top down strategy bug assaults in pvp, pve maps were also available.
The humans had a variety of weapons armour and upgrades to earn and choose from. The swarm had an upgradable hive leader with minions to unlock + abilities to use for each as well upgrade. I enjoyed it to be honest a F2P model and lack of backing was its downfall IMO, plus it had little access to a large population. Would have worked well on steam (dont think it was available anyhow).


There are some vids around still of gameplay. It could work very well with 40k franchise i think. Tau, Human, and Eldar fps/3rd person banding together vs a torrent of ork/tyranid/demon swarms. Go take a look^^, i dont think anyone is combining both gameplay styles atm (havnt come across any, enlighten me if you have plz).. it would be unique.

Check out WH40K: Kill Team.

Developed by Nomad.

It pretty much fits your description. It's not amazing but might scratch that itch.

I mean helldivers is basically what you are looking for, gunplay and enemies feel the same.. if you can get past the characters you play not being exactly warhammer 40k it should scratch that itch, also infested planet sorta works for this too, although its not twin stick.

sorry helldivers is a poor multiplayer game. It is nearly impossible to do anything in singleplayer. E.G. you can not do mission objectives alone. And it is not a twin stick shooter in terms of upgrade collection. You have prebuild gear. It is focuesed heavily on selling you DLC. It is a free to play title you have to pay for.

Proper twin stick shooter are Crimsonland, Smash TV, Hotline Miami, Neo Chrome, Jydge, Shockforce.

Dont give them any ideas. The state of Martyr 0.7 = unplayable for me is not exactly encouraging.

Martyr is our main project for the next few years, so, no.
