Itagaki walks you through the game.
Getting in before the mad rush of E3 Expo news is Devil’s Third, the new Wii U exclusive shooter from Tomonobu Itagaki. Nintendo (who is publishing the game) has announced that the game will be released in Australia and New Zealand on August 29th.
Not much of the game has been seen for quite some time, but don’t worry Itagaki is here to run you all through it. Well in Japanese at least.
Conceived by legendary designer Tomonobu Itagaki, a wild, larger-than-life military thriller Devil’s Third, is set to release for Wii U on 29th August, delivering intense single-player and multiplayer third-person action that blends modern military weaponry with brutal melee combat.
At the heart of the single-player campaign is Ivan, a former mercenary let loose from his incarceration to right the wrongs of his past and take down a shadowy terrorist group he once belonged to. With the world’s satellites and electrical weaponry having been wiped out, and warfare once again reduced to close combat between soldiers, Ivan must use a colourful array of weaponry to shoot, hack and bludgeon his way through any foe standing in the way of his attempt at redemption. With fast-paced combat and bone-crunching finishing moves galore, a day in the life of Ivan is anything but ordinary…
The game’s online multiplayer mode, meanwhile, offers up a grim future whereby the terrorists have won, and chaos reigns supreme. As an ordinary citizen, you can join a clan and help reclaim the United States by forming allegiances with other factions, or go all-out as a mercenary and endlessly assault other player’s bases, opting for anarchy over clan diplomacy! But at the heart of the online play is the ability to customise your base alongside other members of your clan, with successful battling resulting in rewards that can be used to improve your defences. With constant assaults from other clans, you’ll have to be on your toes to defend your territory.
See how much you did, or didn't play things.
