Nearly half of the combat feature in The Callisto Protocol will be melee-based, its design director has revealed during a chat with Game Informer.
“We’re definitely leaning into the survival side of things,” said Ben Walker, who noted that players will have to be careful to conserve ammunition and only use your firearms where necessary, much is the case with any survival horror game.
Our overall tone of our combat is kind of a struggle, right? You’re doing whatever you can do to kind of get by and get through.
Almost half of our combat is melee. [That] means you have to be smart about how you use your bullets. So, to that end, we’ve added our melee combos, when they finish, they kind of push the enemy away. So, that gives you a chance then to lock on really quick and get a nice clean shot on an enemy.
