Deck 13’s new hardcore action-RPG The Surge today unveils a few minutes of unedited gameplay, showing the visceral, uncompromising combat, the limb-cutting system, and a few of the brutal enemies prowling the dysfunctional CREO Complex.
The combat will feature a dynamic limb-cutting system similar to what you saw in the Dead Space games. The idea is to cut or shoot off the limbs of your enemies to put you in a better position to kill them, but you can also target a specific equipment piece to get it as loot. Considering the different enemy types, the ideal limb you need to yank off the bad guy will change to suit the scenario.
The trailer below shows us the type of threats players will be facing that range some shambling exo-suit zombie-thing to full-on shapeshifting technoblob with deadly laser blasts. We also get a look at some of the gruesome finishers you’ll perform. I particularly liked seeing the giant maul in action right before the boss fight with the evil nano-machine possessed excavator.
Check out the Trailer:
“Deck13 said, “As the intelligence of technology incrementally increased over the years, many jobs for the human race had been made redundant, forcing Earth’s citizens to head out into the suburbs seeking labor, aided by exoskeletons to improve their efficiency. The world of The Surge offers a very grim vision of the future, where the evolution of our technology, our society and our relation with the environment led to a decadent state of the Human civilization.”
