Hexodius Announced for XBLA

Trapped in a complex scattered across dimensions...

Written by osubluejacket on 02 April 12 at 15:37 , updated on 02 April 12 at 15:37

Are you looking to be on the cutting edge of the latest XBLA game? Do you love twin stick shooters mixed with dungeon crawling mechanics? Do you have a curiosity about the French and their outrageous accents? If you answered, "yes," to any of the previous questions, do we have the game for you!

Brain Slap Studio a new venture based out of Lyon, France has just announced Hexodius as their upcoming game for the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Though currently a small studio, their goal is to create games that are "simply fun and, somehow, memorable."

They're describing their latest creation with the following:

Hexodius is an arcade twin stick shooter mixed with some dungeon crawler mechanics. To survive from different types of droid enemies, choose wisely your gear among a lot of unique and powerful items.

Use your two thumbs and your brain to make your way through the Hexodius complex.
They've also released some early screenshots of their work in progress.

The tagline interested me, but I like neither twin-stick shooters nor dungeon crawlers. Bummer.

Ah... crap.

Edit: Looks like Paradroid but it won't play anything like it.

Looks okay but think I'm going to have to pass on this one. I do like the concept of twin sticks mixed with the loot and exploration of a dungeon crawler but the screens don't look appealing to me. I'll keep an eye on it to be safe!
I aim to misbehave!

Dungeon crawling mechanics, eh? That is relevant to my interests.

The screenshots do not do it for me at all, but I think it's got potential. Will definitely keep an eye on this in the future.

Not sure what to make of the game as it's a work in progress but hopefully it turns out well.

I'm with you guys; the promise of two gameplay styles I love being fused together is quite intriguing. I can't wait until we get some more-intricate details of how it runs. I'm also very pleasantly surprised at all the positive responses! Typically, in a news post like this (along with the screenshots seen above,) we'd have seen loads of posts saying stuff like, "Not 4 me. Shite graphix. Looks like iOS game or PS1 or something." laugh
