“This game began as a love letter to the outrageous sci-fi action movies of the 1980s, and we wanted a new title that truly honors its reality show roots while highlighting its fast-paced strategy and gameplay,” said Kacper Szymczak, CEO/Creative Director at Artificer. “So, welcome to Showgunners! We love our new name, we’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve put into the game, and we hope you’re as excited for its upcoming launch as we are.”

Starting today, the free Showgunners Steam demo sports an exciting new feature that lets the crowd directly impact the action: Twitch mode*! Twitch streamers can invite their viewers to join the carnage, acting as showrunners and voting in real time on events they’d like to see in game across an array of maps, each varying in scope, environment, and level interactivity. Will your fans help you out in a pinch and keep the hype train rolling? Or will they choose violence and send you to your doom?!

In a future society torn apart by extreme income inequality, climate change, and civil unrest, one show has taken the masses by storm, giving desperate competitors a shot at fame and glory. But first they’ll have to survive the arena. Each live-streamed broadcast delivers a hellish new obstacle course with a unique theme, traps and challenges. As a contestant with your own score to settle, you’ll have to battle other heavily armed combatants, explore for life-saving sponsorship packages, and outwit especially devious surprises from the show’s director if you hope to become the next champ.

KEY FEATURES

• A Classic Revenge Story: Experience over-the-top, American Gladiators-style action and attitude inspired by sci-fi epics like RoboCop, Escape from New York and The Running Man.
• Become a TV Legend: Defying death through skillful play will grow your fame and make you a star! Record confessionals, sign autographs for fans, and unlock sponsorship deals for bonus rewards to help you win the show.
• Challenging Strategy Gameplay: Dive into a full single-player campaign featuring deep tactical combat mechanics that will test your skills across a variety of hand-crafted levels.
• Create the Perfect Squad: Build your team from a range of classes with their own skill trees, and customize their loadouts with powerful weapons, implants and utilities. Level up your characters and discover new strategies to take on each episode’s uniquely devilish trials.
• Survive the Future of Entertainment: Face off against fierce rivals outfitted with heavy weapons and cyborg augments, but watch out for surprise traps and twists from the show’s director, who’s more than willing to throw out the rules to boost ratings for his corporate overlords!

In Tabletop Gods you play the role of a god vying for power. Gather your devout mortal followers and face-off against other players on desktop PC or in VR (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or Windows Mixed Reality and soon in PSVR) as you lead your army across tabletop battlefields in frenetic, arcade-style strategic battles

The Elder God has vanished! In the wake of her disappearance, war has erupted in the heavens! In a Tabletop Gods match, you have three rounds to achieve your goal of destroying more of your opponent’s Strongholds than they destroy of yours. At the start of each round you’ll have a short amount of time to swap out spells and troops, and secretly set traps and deploy mighty weapon towers. During the three-minute round, you’ll use your slowly replenishing Mana to deploy troops onto the tabletop battlefield to attack your enemy’s Strongholds or to defend your own. You’ll also cast powerful spells to thwart your enemy’s advances or to bolster your own attacks. Destroy your enemy’s Strongholds to gain new territory into which you’ll be able to deploy your forces and push the battle towards your opponent! Command Human, Undead or Demon factions as well as deploy a selection of mercenary troops who will fight for any side!

Game Features:

• Human, Undead and Demonic Governance factions
• Castle Grounds, Nether Realm and Void Temple Tabletop battlefields
• Powerful spells
• Killer traps
• Single and Multiplayer Gaming
• Achievements and Leaderboards
• Localization into French, Italian, Spanish, German, Korean and Mandarin
