Hello everyone! I would like to show you new teaser of Awaken:Underwater Odyssey, this time showcasing that beign Kraken squad commander is not just an empty phrase in game description!
I always loved wingmen in shmup games, however ussualy their presence was limited by picking up a powerup whitch randomly drops from fallen enemies. Luckily this is not the case of our game as you can call your wingman(or both) to assist anytime you need their assistance. However you are limited by their cooldowns and have to plan when to use their abilities to maximum benefit. Now lets talk a bit about them!
To your left ll be Warthog torpedo gunship. It rapid fires torpedoes adding significant damage output and its great companion when overwhelmed by smaller enemy ships as torpedoes have aoe effect.
To your right ll be Wraith support vessel. His main ability is to rapid recharge your shield energy so you ussualy call this squad member in after taking a hit. After Wraith arrives you ll see small blinking energy lightnings emiting towards your ship and most importantly you ll see your shield energy rapidly increasing until your shield is ready to absorb another hit. However its firepower is quite limited.
There is one more lets say "mechanic" tied with your wingmen. As you know your Orca have two torpedo shafts. You fire torpedo and it takes 8 seconds to reload. One second after firing first one you can fire second one and it starts reloading as well. However if you have wingman or both on the screen and you fire torpedo while both torpedoes are ready to launch, your wingmen fire additional torpedoes as well. But! Only if you got both torpedoes ready. This limitation was added becouse i want to reward players who plan usage of special weapon like torpedo is and let them benefit from it. While players who just mash torpedo button like psycho ll probably never get the extra damge output from this ability.
Thats it for today! Hope you ll enjoy the trailer and as demo release is comming closer every day wait for next dev. diary as there ll be some game balnce changes and tweaks to make playing this game as enjoyable experience as possible.
Thanks for reading!
