On April 13, TikGames announced a new first-person shooter for the Xbox Live Arcade. Coming to XBLA this summer is Xotic. It will be rated T for Teen. The game is being developed by WXP Games and co-published by TikGames and Valcon Games. Xotic will uniquely blend the FPS with an arcade feel. Anatoly Tikhman, Founder and CEO of TikGames stated, “Instead of running around and shooting the same old soldiers with the same old guns, in this game players will be exploring a unique bio-organic environment while aiming to rack up millions of points and a spot at the top of the leaderboards.” Social integration will be a big part of the game. You will instantly be able to see how well your friend did during the game.
Instead of the drab, dreary wastelands that we are getting a little too accustomed to, Xotic will use color and organics to brighten our lives. The player will use the organic settings as apart of combos and scoring. You will need to shoot the enemies, but also parts of the environment while attaining best times to shoot up the leaderboards. As you work your way to the top of the leaderboards, you will also be upgrading your skills and weapons.
“I think players will be surprised by the creativity and uniqueness of Xotic,” said Patrick Moynihan, Studio Director of WXP Games. “There isn’t another shooter like Xotic, with its blend of FPS action and arcade-style compulsion towards achieving ever-higher scores.”
