The Gravhounds open playtest is currently available on Steam, and here are some compelling reasons to give it a try:
- Free Access: The playtest is open for a limited time at no cost, offering a polished experience for an unreleased early access game.
- Co-op Fun: As a co-op wave shooter, it’s designed for teamwork, making it enjoyable to play with friends.
- Smooth Movement: The game features engaging movement mechanics, especially with the use of buildable cables for gliding around.
- Resource Management: There’s a light resource mining and tower defense element, adding strategic depth.
- Unique Gameplay: Collecting resources using a gravity gun is both fun and satisfying (just be careful with explosives!).
- Familiar yet Unique Setup: While it shares a home base spaceship format with Helldivers 2, it manages to have its own distinct gameplay style.
Additionally, the characters are portrayed as dogs with human bodies, which adds a quirky charm (or unsettling vibe) to the experience. If you’re intrigued by the playful visuals and want to see how the mechanics pan out, consider joining the playtest via Steam.
The playtest runs until Monday, so don’t miss your chance!
