Monster hunting game with cooperative and competitive multiplayer, up to 8 people per party. The game will actively use the near functionality.

One of the key features is a special whip called a "thorn" that wraps around the prisoner's left hand, which will allow you to quickly move on it on the battlefield,

and pull giant monsters to the ground, open hidden passages in the walls, etc., the abilities will differ depending on the type of whip.

As for the weapon, so far there is infa that it is all classified according to the principle of distance to the enemy, "short range / long-range". There will be many species in

including variations of one: from large two-handed and one-handed blades to rifles and machine guns. Gameplay mechanics are also associated with them, for example, using

melee weapons, you can destroy / amputate parts of Abductors (local large monsters).

The central concept is the idea of ​​the so-called military regime of City-States, where the players are divided into 47 Panopticons, and each of them is a local version

one of the 47 Japanese prefectures. Each of the city-states competes with each other in development and power, players need to look for natural resources and invade others

Panopticons. Advanced Panopticons are able to take control of others. The game will have a leaderboard to compare and identify the best city-state.

By donating the collected resources to their Panopticon, players receive items for character customization and other rewards. For communication, the text-to-speech feature is used.

In this mode, judging by the infa from Famitsu, the prisoners will mainly fight with each other, it is also reported that the Etzels are small in size, require foresight

and planning during battles in order to come out on top. "That is, in addition to the tactful aspect on the battlefield, we are promised a strategic element.

Together with the GG, whose gender you choose at the beginning, your android, "Accessory", also travels with you. As planned, in the FW universe, every prisoner is assigned an android, which

is always close to the player and participates in battles with you. She is completely customizable: her behavior, face, hairstyle, costume, phrases, voice and other aspects.

They promise not only an epic monster hunting, but also a storyline campaign, except for the GG (a girl or a boy, sentenced from birth to 1 million years of imprisonment), 13 more characters are known.

Perhaps there will be some intrigues like in popular shonen with coalitions based on interests and abilities, and, accordingly, influence on the world, as well as some goodies

for your character, and, accordingly, some gameplay features (at least diplomatic relations with others), in short, a kind of development of the covenates from Dark Souls, it would be cool: icon_smile:.

By the way, the producer said that he really wants to hear feedback when the game is released, so we are waiting for all sorts of updates that polish the game, and a competent sequel if successful.
