Without wanting to sound dismissive of the game in front of me, it feels like every week we’re getting a new survivors-like / bullet-heaven / auto-shooter (pick your favourite genre title).
In fact, that may well be the case given the frequency of newly announced games, but let’s stay focused: Trinity Survivors is the latest genre entry and it just launched into Early Access on Steam.
What is Trinity Survivors (I hear you scream from deep within the abyss of your soul)? As the name implies, it’s a survivors-like in a similar vein to indie darling Vampire Survivors. Yet, this new entry in the genre has one or two interesting aspects that I’d like to mention.
First up, this particular survivors-like was made by Flyway Games. This is a new studio based in South Korea, and it’s a subsidiary of Krafton, the publisher behind the mighty PUBG.
As mentioned in the press release that put me on the case, Flyway has been established to “quickly [deliver] innovative gaming experiences”. With the burgeoning survivors-like genre pretty much everywhere, it sounds like this indie-sized company is the publisher’s effort to react to market trends with smaller sized games.
Trinity Survivors is the studio’s debut title and it offers two-player online co-op multiplayer. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it brings cartoon-style 3D graphics to a normally pixelated party. You control up to three characters at once; they move as one (similar to Yet Another Zombie Survivors, which also gives you three), with players able to pick leadership skills to benefit their team.
Over on the game’s Steam page, we’re told to expect an Early Access stay of at least 10 months. According to the notes shared there, the studio is “committed to continuously expanding the storyline and introducing additional content” during that time, although it sounds like the core of the game is already in place.
