Your first look at Curve’s new arcade action blaster
Hey all! Lucy from Curve Digital here, with the exciting news that action arcade blaster Ultratron will be coming to PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 4 consoles early next year, and will be available as a Cross-Buy title across all formats.
The game marks the second time we’ll be working with original developer Puppygames, who are also the creators of Titan Attacks, another arcade reinvention which we brought to PlayStation platforms earlier this year. Ultratron isn’t a direct sequel, but just like Titan Attacks, it takes a classic arcade game and coats in a layer of modern polish, vibrant colourful graphics and addictive risk-and-reward play.
Where Titan Attacks was all about expanding on classic Space Invaders, Ultratron takes its cue from Robotron and other classic twin-stick shooters adding upgrades, two player co-op and adaptive difficulty that manually adjusts the pace of the game based on the skill of the player.
During the game, you’ll attempt to avenge the human race as you blast your way through over 40 glowing neon levels, avoiding Chasers, Turrets, Minelayers, Spawners, bombs and bullets before taking on the four evil ‘bot bosses of the Apocalypse.
Ultratron is a pure arcade experience that makes it perfect for portable gaming on the Vita and loud, music blaring big-screen TV sessions. We’re really excited to bring to console, and we hope everyone who enjoyed the PC version will be delighted to play the game on the big screen from the comfort of their living room.
Ultratron joins puzzle game Nova-111 in our 2015 PlayStation line-up, and we’ve got at least two more unannounced games coming to PlayStation 4 next year as well, so keep an eye on PlayStation Blog for more announcements!
If it as good as Titan Attacks I’ll be all over this. I loved Robotron nearly as much as Space Invaders.
Trust me this is great I played loads of it on Linux, I cant wait to get it on PS4
We’re happy to provide retro gaming fans with arcade games that we hope they will love and it’s great to be able to bring another entertaining arcade experience to the PlayStation platforms :)
