For as long as technology has existed, pop culture has been fascinated by computers. Sci-fi and action films often include scenes where a hacker taps away at a keyboard while brilliant colors flood the screen. Hollywood isn’t alone in this obsession; many video game plots revolve around computers. Hacking simulators and cyberpunk RPGs abound these days, each with its own twist on the concept. A new contender is entering the ring later this month. Crash Override is an upcoming roguelite action shooter by TMFX Studios. Today, the developers announced a new update for Crash Override before it releases in Early Access on Steam.
The game releases into Early Access on September 14; as of now, details are a bit sparse. The premise is that the player must “surf the cybernet” in order to take down a “malicious virus.” Whether there’s more of a story to the game remains to be seen. According to the game’s Steam store page, each run of the game takes between 20 and 40 minutes.
