Cyberpunk Indie Action Game ANNO: Mutationem Launches 17 March

Fans of lovely-looking pixel art 3D/2D hybrid action games are in for a treat next month.

ANNO: Mutationem, a PlayStation China Hero Project title will be out for PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam on 17 March. The game is published by Lightning Games and developed by ThinkingStars.

Here are the game’s key features:

• Where 2D Meets 3D – Unique 2D-to-3D gameplay, seamless switching between 2D action-and-platforming and 3D exploration to interact with the world and its inhabitants.
• Ann Kicks Ass – Ann will slash, shoot, combo, grenade-throw, and ground-pound her way through hordes of enemies and huge bosses.
• Explore, Discover, and Return – Exploring diverse locations such as huge cities and complex underground structures, players are free to go as they please, returning to previous areas and unlocking new events.
• A Dark, Twisted Plot – A grand story befitting a rich and dark cyberpunk decor, featuring our main hero Ann and her trusty hacker sidekick Ayane.
• Craft, Upgrade, Improve, and Customize – Collect, buy, or craft items, and upgrade Ann’s stats, skills, and gear. Use chips to modify any kind of weapon you find.

Oh, and you can also fish at docks and serve up cocktails to people in kinda-lit-but-still-sleazy bars. Fun!

You can play a PC demo on Steam right now if you want to get a feel for it.
