A new tactical shooter on Steam may not show any gameplay in its first trailer, but it definitely makes players laugh with its humorous and surprising nature, and sparks curiosity for more.
What kind of game is this? Ascendant Infinity is a tactical shooter announced on Steam that promises not only a lot of humor but also constantly new fights and events that change the game repeatedly.
- In the team-based shooter, you fight in a team of three players against three other teams.
- You have access to a wide variety of weapons and unlimited customization options.
- You can choose your playstyle individually, going on the offensive, lying in wait, launching airstrikes, or using tools like tear gas.
- Your goal will be to grab targeted resources from the map and safely transport them home.
We don’t learn much about the gameplay from the trailer, but it definitely seems that the developers want to stand out with humor:
A shooter or a sitcom? The trailer shows: The trailer primarily shows that Ascendant Infinity is not meant to be a deadly serious shooter. Like in the preview of a classic sitcom from the 80s, the trailer introduces some characters from the game.
You seem to be meeting a few heroes who then smile awkwardly into the camera after their action and are presented with their names. Everything is complemented by cheerful music that also fits the mood of a funny sitcom.
However, a few dangerous snails are also introduced, the bioreactor – played by “Abraham Lincoln” – or the giant monster Gorlizard – played by “your mother.” A few positions that you will probably be able to take in the game are also introduced in the trailer. Among them are the thief, the extractor, or the “bioreactor grabber.”
What are the reactions? Although the trailer does not reveal much about the game, the reactions from players (via YouTube) are quite positive, as they find this sitcom humor to be quite enjoyable.
For instance, user-vi5tp4xd8i writes that it hurts how clever and funny the trailer is. User ignacioramirez5651 shares a similar opinion and even writes: “Best trailer ever, I will play it just for that.”
User michaelambrose1 comments: “I can’t remember the last time a trailer made me laugh… great.”
