Ocean Drive Studio reveals today their second project called Blackout Protocol! Blackout Protocol is a 3-player co-op twin stick shooter with roguelite elements. Fans of the genre can already head toward the game's Steam page to add the title to their wishlist and receive the latest information regarding the Early Access launch.

Jae Kim, CEO of Ocean Drive Studio shares: "I am thrilled to announce the studio's second project. Being passionate twin-stick shooter players, we want to create something truly meaningful for fans of the genre. Like we've done with our previous game, Lost Eidolons, we are going to pursue an open-development approach. The game being co-op at heart, we believe integrating player's feedback from the early stage is essential and we will be launching the game in early access so we can receive as much feedback as possible to offer the best gaming experience."




About Blackout Protocol
Blackout Protocol invites action lovers to a frenetic twin-stick shooter where 3 players will collaborate to eradicate a very real menace. The three agents will be deployed in a remote containment facility that went dark after an internal breach. Shoot your way through hordes of creatures and use data cubes, credits and blueprints to upgrade your equipment at the next safe zone.. if you can reach it!

I dont understand how gamers can play top down games without getting a headache.

Not so much top-down as isometric (or near-isometric?).

Are you referring to "live" games, turn-based, or both? I just finished up XCOM 2 - true isometric. No literal headache, but plenty of spatial disorientation and I could see it being an issue if the game wasn't turn-based.

I used to play some top-down 2D shooters, it was easier than side-view platformers.

I remember GTA3 had top down view and its was bad though not head ache inducing. Top down games were common in past(even 3D) but none caused headaches so not sure from where this reputation comes from.

I very like this kind of game, I recommended trying Disco Elysium, but when it come to shooter , not so much.

Never owned PS and only time I remember playing that game was demo version and not liking it as much as GTA2.

Easy! They are a ton of fun once you understand and get a "feel" for the controls.

Its not the controls, its the camera that does it, and MB if any, is off.

Ah ok. Fair enough. Motion Blur is a garbage effect and a setting that should be removed from everything.
