MintRocket Introduces Wakerunners: A Thrilling PvP Action Shooter with Top-Down Perspective

Mintrocket’s highly anticipated Project TB has finally been launched, and it’s called Wakerunners! This thrilling post-apocalyptic action game takes place on a future Earth and offers an exciting mix of fast-paced combat, diverse characters, and engaging game modes, all in a top-down player-versus-player (PVP) setting. The name ‘Wakerunners’ perfectly captures the essence of the game, combining ‘Waker’ to represent the enhanced human species with biometric abilities, and ‘Runners’ to highlight the key gameplay element of accelerated movement.

Set in a technologically advanced world, Wakerunners introduces the concept of biometric data chips that grant special abilities to human ‘Wakers’. After a global virus outbreak and the catastrophic fall of lunar debris, Earth is left in ruins with gravitational anomalies and a new energy source known as ‘Lunium’. Survivors have banded together in alliances, competing fiercely to secure this precious resource and establish dominance in this new world.

One of the standout features of Wakerunners is its top-down perspective, allowing players to view the action from above. This unique viewpoint adds a strategic element to gameplay, as players must navigate their characters through the environment while gradually gaining speed. Mastering precise control and directional changes is crucial for achieving full acceleration and outmaneuvering enemies. It’s a thrilling experience that keeps players on their toes and rewards skillful play.

In the fast-paced battlefields of Wakerunners, split-second decisions can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Real-time teamwork and strategic use of skills are essential for success in this dynamic environment. The game offers a variety of exciting modes, including Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Stronghold, and Raiders (field boss fights), with more in development for the upcoming playtest.
