From Press Release:
Jackson, WY (Nov. 16, 2022) – Superior, developed by Drifter, is now available for purchase on Steam in early access for $25. During its launch week (Nov. 16 – Nov. 23), Drifter is giving a 15% discount. Superior is a co-op, roguelite, third-person shooter where all the superheroes have turned into evil abominations.
“Superior is nonstop, moment-to-moment action, challenging players to embark on a superpowered survival-fest,” said Ray Davis, CEO of Drifter. “Whether solo or in our favorite co-op mode, Superior gives players a ton of goals, inventive power sets, unlocks, and skills resulting in never-ending play options.”
Start each mission unpowered and outgunned as you hunt down superheroes, steal their powers, and save the world. As you succeed in your mission, characters are upgraded with a branching skill tree, granting more powers and abilities to take on more heinous heroes. Armed with a powerful arsenal and your teammates, you advance through a sprawling hyper-stylized superhero universe with multiple locations and dynamically configured missions. With hundreds of unique superpowers, weapons, items, and abilities to upgrade and choose, Superior lets you craft your own Hero Hunter, progressing from “gutter to godhood” with every session.
Superior is developed by Drifter, the studio behind hit games: Robo Recall: Unplugged and Lies Beneath. The game is led by AAA developers with a pedigree from Gears of War, Doom, Halo and Apex Legends.
