Hybrid Beasts

Hybrid Beasts is a unique cross-genre game where you explore, conquer and defend an open world full of adventures, quests and secrets. Up to 6 players battle with teams of never before seen creatures in an explosive yet strategic couch-multiplayer fun!Gameplay Overview

A large and open world that can be explored freely. Starting in the lush forest, you can travel in any direction be it towards frozen glaziers, arid deserts or volcanic landscapes.

Many mystic places, however, at first are locked or hidden. Complex storylines can be followed and quests can be solved to unveil all the secrets and lore of the land.

For each newly explored level, the beasts battle to decide who will be the first conquerer of this uncharted land. The victorious new ruler must then fortify and defend his reign.

Beasts can even seize prestigious titles as “King of the Forest” that will prove helpful given the tale of an ancient legend which states: “...only a true king can reassemble the Arcane Rainbow Crystal”.

Local (couch) multiplayer for 2-6 players (4 controllers at the same time)

A unique 'endless battle' multiplayer mode have fun battling your friends for a very long time

Many original and rarely seen weapons such as: huge lasers, sticky mines, weaponized animals like flying fishes or armored armadillos, glue cannons, ice spells, shields, voodoo dolls, scuba gear, time travel, pet cemetery, Pandora's box, invisibility potion and many more

More common weaponry include shotguns, rockets, grenades, rope and jetpack

Power-Ups like Double Damage or Super Jump impact gameplay

Random events such as asteroid impacts, earthquakes, blizzards or even alien invasions make battles more exciting

Choose from many different and devastating endgame modes: for example Genesis flood and Volcanic eruption

World regions drastically impact gameplay. For example, in a forest, you can dive into the clear water; whereas, in colder regions, the water is frozen to a solid block of ice that can be walked on. Near the volcano, on the other hand, the water has been vaporized by molten lava that immediately kills any beast that touches it

All of the more than 60 landscapes and battlefields are handcrafted and designed with strategies and deceitful ambushes in mind. The possibility to randomly generate battlefields is coming soon.

Hybrid Beasts has been developed to allow for extensions of all major game elements. Expect new battlefields, random events, power-ups, endgame modes, quests and weapons to be added regularly.
