Publisher and developer play good-cop/bad-cop to digitally publish the stylish blood-soaked bullet-time first-person shooter in autumn 2018

LONDON, UK – 15 March 2018 – Videogame publisher Rising Star Games today announced it has entered into a publishing partnership with UK-based developer Ground Shatter, to bring the arcade-paced, action-movie inspired, sensory onslaught that is RICO, to digital storefronts of all major gaming formats in autumn 2018.

The game’s title stands for “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations” Act, a United States federal law relating to criminal organisations. But forget that! Just kick down doors, shoot bad guys, and exploit the element of surprise to gain the upper hand against overwhelming odds, in this cooperative multiplayer first person shooter. Partner up with a friend in local couch co-op or online, to blast through an ever-changing series of procedurally generated levels. Come back every day for daily challenges and, as you play, unlock weapons, weapon customisations, and new “traits”– gameplay affecting rewards that modify, enhance and dramatically alter your characters’ abilities.
“With their worldwide reach and extensive routes to market, Rising Star Games is a shining example of what a modern games publisher can be”, said James Parker, game director at Ground Shatter, “and we are delighted that RICO forms part of what looks to be a bold and hugely exciting 2018 line-up”.
“We’re excited to welcome the explosive action and bullet-time fueled gameplay of RICO into Rising Star Games’s slate of releases for 2018”, said Martin Defries, Managing Director of Rising Star Games. “It’s great to be working together, ‘buddy cop’-style with esteemed developer Ground Shatter, in order to bring the visceral and frenetic action of RICO to a global audience.”
About RICO:
RICO is an arcade-style, first-person shooter inspired by modern action cinema. In the game you and a friend play as a pair of loose-cannon police partners, given twenty-four hours to crack a case as part of an elite organised crime taskforce. Planning is tactical rather than strategic, players must react in the moment to shootouts as they unfurl, with additional extra time to assess the situation if they are able to surprise their adversaries. Ammo and enemies are plentiful, and combat is punchy and impactful, supported by an extensive destruction system that ensures every shot looks and feels great.

Gameplay features:
Online co-op and offline split-screen play
“Daily play” with online leaderboards
Randomly generated cases, operations, and environments
Unlockable weapons, traits, and mission types
Compete against the clock to solve a case in 24 hours

Developed by Ground Shatter and published digitally by Rising Star Games, RICO is scheduled for global release in autumn 2018. For more information visit www.rico-game.com, follow Rising Star Games on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or visit the official Rising Star Games website.

Publisher and developer form mystic allegiance to digitally publish the sweeping and epic tale across all major gaming platforms

LONDON, UK – 14 March 2018 – Videogame publisher Rising Star Games today announced it has entered into a partnership with Portugal-based developer Amplify Creations, to publish the third-person fantasy action-RPG Decay of Logos on digital storefronts across all major gaming formats in autumn 2018.

Decay of Logos is an immersive action role-playing game inspired by the developer’s love and passion for European folklore, high fantasy fiction and archetypal classic third-person action-RPG videogames. The game hails from the imagination of lead game designer and programmer André Constantino and is developed by award-winning independent software organization Amplify Creations.

The game sees players exploring a vast interconnected world, packed with secret locations and items to discover. Adventurers will engage in deadly and punishing combat with other-worldly enemy constructs, and discover a world filled with arcane lore as they unravel the intricacies of the game’s various weapon, armour, inventory and level-up systems and mechanics.

“After many years developing middleware used by thousands of other game developers, our good fortune has allowed us to indulge in a passion project to make the kind of game that excites us as players”, said Diogo Teixeira, producer at Amplify Creations. “Working alongside Rising Star Games has been both a pleasure and an enriching experience that will undoubtedly help us deliver a better product and reach a wider audience.”

“It is an honour to work alongside such a credible and visionary organisation as Amplify Creations, to help bring their incredible imagination to life in Decay of Logos”, said Martin Defries, Managing Director of Rising Star Games. “The game is striking, complex, subtle and beautiful all at once and enriches Rising Star Games’s portfolio of outstanding action games”.

Decay of Logos weaves a tale of a girl and her elk companion, who meet after her village is destroyed by one of the King’s sons. Battered and oblivious of the culprit behind the attack, the girl will not rest until she has her revenge. During her quest she will unveil secrets about the King and his sons, slowly realising that all is not what it seems.

Take a peek behind the curtain at the ongoing development of the game and follow the Amplify Creations team’s development blog at www.decayoflogos.com.

Developed by Amplify Creations and published digitally by Rising Star Games, Decay of Logos is scheduled for global release in autumn 2018. For more information follow Rising Star Games on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or visit the official Rising Star Games website.

Posted on August 8, 2017 by Samuel Elphick

Posted in Announcement

Colossal crossover as lead characters from SteamWorld Dig, Brut@l, Zombie Vikings and more join the cast of the chaotic platform game

Eight new heroes enter the fray! Plucked from dimensions across the Rising Star universe in a crossover of colossal proportions, they’ve joined forces with the 88 Heroes to foil Dr. H8’s nefarious plans. Use their skills wisely and maybe you’ll be able to save the day!

Dex (from A Pixel Story)
Rusty (from SteamWorld Dig)

The Conga Masters (from Conga Master)
Vamp Girl (from I Want To Be Human)
Eyas (from The Land of Eyas)
The Ninja (from Ninja Shodown)

Abilities:
The M@ge – can fire magical blasts out of his cane; tap Action button for small blast, press harder for bigger (big blasts can destroy scenery)
Dex – pressing the Action button drops his teleporting hat; pressing the Action button again teleports Dex to the location where the hat was dropped
Rusty – can use his pickaxe to kill enemies and, more importantly, dig through the scenery in all four directions
Gunborg – very large character, can use massive sword to kill enemies and smash walls; when she gets hit, her body collapses but her head starts bouncing and can still be controlled
The Conga Masters – immune to enemy attacks; touching enemies adds them to your conga line
Vamp Girl – can double jump and use her shotgun to kill enemies
Eyas – press the Action button to reverse gravity and walk on the ceiling
The Ninja – moves quickly, can cling to and climb up/down walls; uses katana blade to attack enemies

88 Heroes: H8 Mode Activate!
Two new heroes – Cath Letics and The Mime – team up with the 88 Heroes to bring the pain to Dr. H8. But wait! The evil mastermind gets his revenge with H8 Mode: eight new levels so challenging, even the toughest hero will be tested!

(H8 Mode Activate! DLC suitable for digital owners only; content pre-bundled in boxed version)

Abilities:
Cath Letics – the more the Action button is pushed, the faster she can run; fast running allows for jumping longer distances
The Mime – can do mime (obviously), which causes enemies to change direction away from him

H8 Mode info:
Eight very difficult standalone levels that can be accessed from the main menu.

Out now on Steam, PS4 and Xbox One.

Posted in Announcement

Long Time Coming For Gore-Soaked Platform Blaster, Available on PS4™ At Permanently Low Price Of $2.49

London, UK – 21 June 2017 – Rising Star Games today announced that after a lengthy time battling development demons, the bizarre and bloody action platform blaster I Want To be Human, from developer Sinclair Strange, finally releases today on PlayStation®4. To celebrate, Rising Star Games is launching the game at the permanently low price of just $2.49/€2.49.

“Our planned multiplatform simultaneous launch for I Want To Be Human last year was smited by the God of Difficult Porting”, said Lee Skittrell, Marketing Manager at Rising Star Games. “The talented developers at Red Phantom Games have since worked their magic, and to atone for the delay and to help expose this bonkers oddity of a game to as many players as possible we’re launching it for cheap, as a ‘thank you’ for people’s patience.”

I Want To Be Human is a trope-flipping, convention-busting action platform game packed with frenetic action, a pulsing electropunk audio score, wildly dark tongue-in-cheek humour, and lashings of exploding body parts. Players will aid the vampire protagonist on her journey through hell and back (literally) to save her beau. Along the journey players will unlock abilities while blasting their way through five worlds of blood-soaked monochromatic mayhem.

I Want To Be Human Key Features:

Vampire Justice – Love, betrayal, and endless destruction, all drenched in pixelated gore that spans five different worlds
Bullets for my Valentine – Upgrade your trusty shotgun and take the fight to the flock – the ones who are responsible for turning your boyfriend into trendy headgear
Tongue, meet cheek – Discover a world packed with off-the-wall dark humour and a unique art style that could only come from the mind of Sinclair Strange
Musical Mayhem – Featuring original tracks by electropunk artist Jimmy Urine, from Mindless Self Indulgence.

I Want To Be Human releases today for PlayStation®4 for the permanently low price of $2.49/€2.49. For more information follow Rising Star Games on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or visit the official Rising Star Games website.
