Was die Entwickler zu sagen haben:

Wozu Early Access?

„As a solo dev, I would love to involve the players in shaping the game, especially when it comes to balancing. This kind of game can be very challenging for some players while for others it will be a breeze. I feel like Early Access would be a great place to get that balance right. I would also like people to be able to play the Singleplayer portion of the game without having to wait for Multiplayer to be finished.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„I estimate that roughly 6 months from initial release, 1.0 will launch and the game will be out of Early Access. That does not mean that I will stop working on the game though! For as long as people are playing, I will take into consideration their feedback and add new content or update any areas of the game that might need that extra love.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The main difference will be that the full game will feature Multiplayer. Both co-op and pvp. I plan to have the classics: Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch as well as Conquest: which will essentially be the Singleplayer levels but 1v1. I also plan to release more single player content during EA such as a Horde/Endless mode and New Game +, more weapons, enemies, gear and maps.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Road Map Update 5 has just been added! Right now, there is the full Singleplayer campaign of WAR RATS: The Rat em Up. A Skirmish Mode where players can choose any map to play through with options for enemy types to encounter. 3 different difficulties to choose from, 20+ weapons and 20 different units. Since EA launch, I have added New Game +, Horde mode, friendly fire options, new units, new enemies, new guns, a revamped cosmetics system with over 550 different combinations! And loads of bug fixes, polish and QoL. Check out the Patch Notes for everything added.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„I may increase the price slightly after Early Access is over to reflect the value of the content that has been added, especially considering Multiplayer would be a massive addition.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I am already taking player feedback into account from my social media accounts and through Steam and this will not change for the lifetime of the game. There is now a Discord to join too! Lots of player suggestions have already made it into the game. So don't be shy!“

Rezensionen

“The gameplay feels satisfying and enjoyable, and its systems are integrated well for the most part. Although it’s not in its full release yet, it manages to feel fairly polished.”
Screen Hype

“War Rats is a fun, action-packed title filled with crude humor and addictive gameplay”
Everything Action

“There’s a surprising depth here under the cheesy yet gore-filled exterior”

Infos zum Spiel

It's time for the rats... To WAR!

Sidescrolling roguelite shooter meets tower defense with a sprinkle of RPG elements. A hand-drawn rat-filled side-scrolling looter-shooter moba-lite 2D gore-fest inspired by that brutal 90s gaming feel of yore.

Set in a world where rats are the only form of life. Lead your troops to battle and retake the land of Ratopia from TechnoRat: A singular consciousness comprising cyborg rats that want nothing more than to consume all flesh and turn it to metal.

Inspired by games such as Kingdom: New Lands and Futurecop LAPD's Precinct Assault mode (now generally considered to be the first ever MOBA) delivered in a package that evokes the brutal, gory 90s gaming sprites of old, it's a non-stop bloody action game with lovingly hand-drawn art and animation.

Loads of weapons, enemies and loot to be had. You must manage and fight alongside your army to push back the tide of the enemy and get your Ratineer into their base. Sounds simple but it won't be easy.

Current Early Access Content:

5 MAJOR CONTENT UPDATES SO FAR

FULL SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN
HORDE MODE
NEW GAME + (BASICALLY INFINITE RUNS MODE)
SKIRMISH MODE
22 DIFFERENT WEAPONS
OVER 20 RAT UNITS TO FIGHT WITH AND AGAINST
12 UNIQUE MAPS
PLAYER CUSTOMIZATION WITH OVER 550 SKIN COMBINATIONS
DIFFICULTY OPTIONS (INCLUDING IRON RAT AND FRIENDLY FIRE)
RATS ALL OVER YOUR FAAAAACCEEEE

KEY FEATURES:

Brutal 2D Shooting Action: Engage in brutal, fast-paced, strategic battles against hordes of enemies. (Did I say brutal enough yet?)
Roguelike Progression: Fight through each district and try to reach the TechnoRat HQ and shut them down permanently. On death, spend your hard earned CHz to upgrade your attributes to do better!
Recruit Troops: Going in alone is sure to lead to failure. Make sure you utilize your troops effectively or it's GG. Call in reinforcements at key times to turn the tide of battle in your favour.
Buy New Weapons and Gear: Earn credits (CHz) and upgrade at the shop (rat dealer) to give yourself an edge over the endless hordes that are only going to get stronger and stranger as you get closer to TechnoRat HQ.
Base Building: Build turrets, shrines, walls, resource generators and missile launchers to counter and overwhelm the armies of TechnoRat.
Customizable Difficulty: Set your friendly fire options and choose between 3 different levels of difficulty and 2 starting weapons.
New Game +: Not just "the campaign again but with a few tweaks", it's a lightly procedurally generated run that will never be exactly the same twice. Keep your progression and increase the challenge each time you beat it. And you don't even need to beat the campaign to unlock this mode (just be a high enough level) so I don't even know why I called it New Game + really. Oh well. SQUEEEEAAAK.
Horde Mode: Defend your base against endless waves of enemies that get more numerous and stronger as it goes on. The tide comes at you from both sides in this mode, and you have only defensive units to try and hold out!
Iron Rat Mode: If you like a challenge, enable this toggle to turn your run even more hardcore! Start over at level 1 again if you die, but keep the core gameplay loop of upgrading with whatever you earned during that run.
Unique Art Style: Experience the world of Ratopia with graphics all hand-drawn by rat artist wootusart (Me!). (Meaning I am an artist who draws rats, not that I am a rat that is an artist. That would be crazy.)
Customize Your Ratty: Over 550 different combinations of skin components to try out so you can slay in style!
Skirmish Mode: Select any map and choose what enemies to face and just go at it, for practice or for fun. Or both!
Multiplayer (Coming Soon): Grab a friend and go rat-toe to rat-toe on any of the maps featured in the game.

The rats have whispered to me in the night that I must make this game. They demand it. I must obey. They scurry in my mind. I cannot sleep. I cannot rest. Until it is done.

Beschreibung nicht jugendfreier Inhalte

Der Entwickler beschreibt die Inhalte wie folgt:

There are no humans featured in the game. The game is set in a world where every living creature is some kind of rat. All the violence and gore therefore is only of these animals. The game is also entirely hand drawn in a somewhat cartoony stylized look and so not photorealistic or 3D.
