Greenlight Highlight | Damned Cold

Title: Damned Cold
Developer: Unlikely Rogue
[Greenlight Page]

What type of game is it?

Arcade Shooter. Dare I say Tactical Espionage?

What’s the 30 second elevator pitch?

Use stealth, cunning, and timing to escape from an alternate-history prisoner of war camp where there’s tens of ways to escape, and a mass of optional objectives to keep the replayability high.

What do we like most about it?

The viewpoint, scale, music, and setting perfectly channel Metal Gear (first one) as well as early Command & Conquer entries. Indeed, although the game does, at times turn into a twin-stick shooter, it’s in the moments in the trailer where the protagonist is clambering around the environment, and remaining unseen around enemies that the trailer is at it’s best.

There’s promise of a small map with a lot of optional objectives and routes out of the interment camp, if done well then this could be absolutely outstanding, and I’m really looking forward to what the developer could do if they expanded on the game after launch.

When’s it due?

Damned Cold is listed for release in the Autumn of this year for Windows PC.
