Astebreed announced as shoot ’em up with ‘cinematic twist’, coming to PS4 (60FPS, 1080p)

Originally released on PC by Japanese indie developer Playism, Astebreed is zooming onto PS4 on June 25, priced $19.99.

The space-based shooter features roaming camera angles designed to give the gameplay a cinematic feel as players shoot lazers and missiles at oncoming enemies.

Similar to side-scrolling shoot ‘em ups of old, the mechs in Astebreed are circled by tiny nodes that shoot out lazers in all directions, while a blade allows players to slice up enemies at close range.

Enhancements to the original PC game include new upgrades, a dash ability and tweaks to the control system to make it intuitive to play with a DualShock 4 controller.

Astebreed will also run at 60 frames-per-second and be decked out with 1080p visuals with improved textures and lighting.
