Former Sony Online Entertainment veterans Mat Broome and Kevin McPherson have formed a new company called Hero Machine Studios that is ready to reveal first information about KINETIK, a near future tactical RPG shooter. The game can be played in either first- or third-person and will feature both co-op and competitive multiplayer.
Players can take part in class-based tactical warfare either cooperatively via objective-based missions against lethal AI opponents, or battle online in unforgiving 16 vs. 16 competitive multiplayer matches. Players choose and build upon RPG-style roles within their teams for enhanced squad support. InKINETIK, players become stronger as they rank up and craft new and more powerful character armor and equipment. Team victories unlock new player and drone skills and customizations, unlocking new tactical possibilities, where intelligent use of powerful uniquely-configured drones can spell the difference between utter defeat and vanquishing the enemy.
KINETIK will be developed by the two-man team with funding to hopefully be attained through a $150K KickStarter campaign.
