Sleeping Dogs Dev Announces Smash and Grab ~ Early Access September
United Front Games开发商新作《打砸抢》首支预告公布
United Front Games在开发完《热血无赖》(Sleeping Dogs)后,转而开发了网游版热血无赖《三合会之战》(Triad Wars),然而这款游戏还没有正式发售就被取消开发。虽然网游项目进行的不顺利,但United Front Games并不灰心,他们今天公布了一个新的多人网络游戏《打砸抢(Smash + Grab)》。
United Front Games announces a bold new vision for 3v3 competitive gang warfare on PC: Set in a dystopian future, Smash + Grab is an illicit underground competition where rival gangs compete for loot, weapons, and infamy.
Each team will need to grapple, shoot, and smash their way to victory by collecting $50k in goods from locked-down, high-end shopping districts – or from the opposing team! In rapid-fire, 15-minute matches, players raid increasingly larger stores, mod lethal new weapons like chain-saw-shovels and poison-crossbows, and afterward, level up with new perks and clothing.
In addition to unique combat moves, special abilities, clothing, and perks for each leader, Smash + Grab lets you customize your gang’s loadout. First, choose a lieutenant – each with their own upgradeable look and perks – and then pick the class for the rest of your five-person gang. Once you’ve readied up, victory can be yours through clever teamwork and smart tactical plays– with a couple of insidious ambushes and old-school beatdowns thrown in for good measure.
Stephen Van Der Mescht, CEO of United Front Games, says, “Smash + Grab combines our love of competitive online games with our expertise in action mechanics and hand-to-hand combat, sharpened during our development of Sleeping Dogs. The playtesting rivalries got pretty intense in the studio during development, and we hope to see the same reaction on a bigger scale with Smash + Grab’s Early Access launch.”
Designed to be instantly fun and rewarding as a ‘pick up and play’ online experience, Smash + Grab’s Early Access release will be fully featured and include an offline practice mode alongside the initial two multiplayer modes and maps. In addition to utilizing Early Access for its powerful community-feedback approach, United Front Games are readying all-new content such as leaders, weapons, vanity items, and entirely new maps and modes.

United Front Games is excited to announce that Smash+Grab, its competitive, team-based, online fighter, launches today on Steam Early Access at 9am PDT.
