Rogue Snail and Gearbox Publishing have announced that Relic Hunters Legend has launched into Steam early access. Players can purchase a copy of the game for a limited time at 33% off its normal price during Steam’s SHMUP Fest. The offer is good through Monday, October 2nd.
Developers are celebrating the big day with a new trailer to give viewers a peek at the frenzied action only a shooter-looter can provide.
Players will have a lore-filled world to explore and more than a few over-the-top characters to choose from. The action can be experienced through the single-player Story Mode, where players can unlock five unique Relic Hunters. Each one comes with a slate of abilities, playstyles, and personalities. Once unlocked, then it’s time to take them into frenzied multiplayer action. Multiplayer sends up to four players on special co-op missions against intergalactic threats. Along the way, they’ll find powerful gear, some new abilities, and uncover the game world’s secrets.
Early Access features
- New Game Mode: In a new game mode, Asteroid Dungeon Nemesis, players can earn the best loot in the galaxy by conquering five increasingly challenging missions. Upon completing each mission, either solo or in highly cooperative multiplayer matches with up to three other Hunters, players can receive incredible limited-time rewards like ultra-rare Legendary Materials, endgame Gear and Weapons, and lots of Bounty.
- Friendship Adventures: Through the single-player story mission Friendship Adventures, players can delve deeper into the Hunters’ stories and lore. The Early Access Launch debuts the Friendship Adventure “Keytar Hero” to unlock Raff, the team’s engineer musician, and “Ace of Hearts” for Ace, the team’s jetpacking pilot donkey.
- New Relics: Three new powerful Relics —The Thunder Hammer, The Cross, and The Obsidian Cat—can be uncovered and equipped to deal massive damage.
- New Timeline Unlocked: Fight your way through alternate timelines. In the Broken Era timeline, players can test their skills with the challenging new Epic difficulty to collect the super-rare Unique Gear, a new collection of super-powerful gear pieces available only through the Broken Era.
