Strange Brigade

Released: 2018 — API: DirectX 12 — Engine: Asura

Strange Brigade, from the house of Rebellion ("Sniper Elite" series) is an interesting twist to the cooperative action genre. It uses elements from "Serious Sam" and has a "Tomb Raider" aesthetic feel to it. You play as one of four very diverse heroes who team up with either human or AI squad-mates to explore and seek out an evil enemy who sends swarms of enemies your way.

Based on an up-tuned Asura Engine by Rebellion, the game stays on the bleeding edge of today's consumer graphics feature set even if the photorealism doesn't match up to it. The game is the first to support both DirectX 12 and Vulkan and can take advantage of mixed-multi GPU. We used the DirectX 12 renderer.
