En Masse Entertainment has announced that it is bringing Closers to North America and Europe later this fall. Closers is an "episodic anime beat 'em up" game that stars psychic teens trying to save the world in futuristic New Seoul. "They balance the everyday obligations of high school life" with trying to beat back an "army of invading interdimensional aliens". All of this is accomplished through side-scrolling arcade action.
In Closers, you will become an elite agent of UNION, an organization dedicated to dealing with the threat of interdimensional aliens spilling through a series of mysterious portals that have appeared throughout New Seoul. At launch, players will choose one of five playable members of the Black Lambs team: Seha, a reluctant combat genius, Sylvi, the dedicated leader, Yuri, the skilled martial artist who only recently discovered her powers, Misteltein, a prodigious young boy with amazing support skills, and J, the grizzled veteran with a troubled past. Each character’s unique personality and combat style will allow players to chart their own path through a complex, branching narrative, upgrading their skills and weapons along the way, and unlocking amazing new powers in a quest to snuff out a gargantuan interdimensional threat.
You can register to help test Closers by visiting the official site. Alpha testing is slated for September and beta later this fall.
