Headup Games developed some , perhaps being best known for developing the Bridge Constructor series. Yesterday a trailer for a new action RPG game, Everreach: Project Eden.

Previous Games

Headup Games aren’t exactly well known or have many high rated games but sometimes they do pull off some decent games. For example, SUEM: Speedrunners from Hell had very good reviews:

According to the authors it’s a mix of Quake 3 and Super Meat Boy and I have to agree that it looks exactly like that. You can even make your own maps.

There’s also the best known series of this company, the Bridge Constructor series. One of the best sellers being Bridge Constructor Portal:

So it’s a puzzle game kind of like Lemmings but with carts and bridges. You can also make your own maps.

Everreach: Project Eden

Now despite the company not having high reputation so far, Everreach: Project Eden could still be good. For me personally after the disappointments that were Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, any new sci-fi action RPG will do.

Here’s the trailer:

The graphics and game play look okay. Looks somewhat unpolished but good enough. Either way what matters the most in these kinds of games is the story and pace. It’s all good if the game doesn’t end up being repetitive and boring.

According to the description and trailer you will have upgrades through a skill tree, tactical battles with the help of a force field and the environment and high speed battles using your hover bike. It’s an 8 hours story about the colonization of planet Eden that ends up having problems. So far so good.

As it’s common with this company for some reason, this game borrows from other games like Mass Effect, Destiny, Gears of War and Halo. The authors do proudly give credit to these games and rightfully so. However some users also noticed the protagonist resemblance with Starcraft’s Nova. In fact the main protagonist is called Nora Harwood. Coincidence? Who knows?

The game will be released in September 9th for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. If you’re interested in these kinds of games you may want to follow this one.
