Earth Atlantis, the extraordinary shoot 'em up, is now available on PS4® and Xbox One!

Dive into an impressively stylized underwater world and track down 25 dangerous sea monsters

01 June 2018 Headup Games and Pixel Perfex announced today's release of the one-of-a-kind shoot 'em up Earth Atlantis for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One. It's available for $14.99, €14.99, £13.49. For the first week, there is a release discount on Xbox One with 20% off.

Explore mankind's destroyed and sunken main capitals, lying deep down at the bottom of the sea as ruins of steel and stone. Earth Atlantis'  impressive underwater world is inhabited by terrifying sea monsters, hybrids of machines and creatures from the deep that were only known from fairy tales and as rumors among sailors. Now they are roaming freely through the aquatic world.

You're going to hunt those monsters in fierce fights using four different submarines types, each equipped with individual weapons for different hunting styles. Enjoy a unique art style reminiscent of old explorers sketchbooks from the 14th century, a time when the seas were yet to be explored completely.

About Grimmwood

You’re in a village in an ageless, mystical forest, together with up to 30 other strangers all of which are real, live players. Together you need to defend your village against the merciless monster hordes who unleash their wrath against your shelter every night. Use the daytime wisely to explore, gather resources, upgrade and repair. But to be able to do all that you have to eat, drink and rest, because every action in the game takes its toll on your stamina and sanity.


The Gameplay
Every night monsters attack your village. Use the daytime and your stamina points to explore the procedurally generated forest, find weapons and useful items, collect food and resources to upgrade and forficate the village. Share tasks and decisions with the other players and work together, because night by night the monsters attacks will become more fierce… And the village must survive at all costs!

The World
The world of Grimmwood is engulfed by a nameless 16th century war raging across the continent. The Villagers are common folk, refugees from the big cities who seek sanctuary in the depths of the ageless Forest. Many of them have lost their loved ones and all their belongings… everything but their will to live and see another day.

The Village
The village which the survivors have discovered deep in the Great Forest seems a lot older – probably even with by centuries. It is destitute of any signs of life – nothing to even hint on what might have happened to its former inhabitants.

The Monsters
The Great Forest is old and vast. There are things here never seen by any man… who lived to tell the tale. The villagers are not wanted here – they only disturb the natural order of things in this dark and secluded part of the world.

The Mystical Forces
A lot of things that happen in the Great Forest go beyond anything the villagers have ever experienced or have the capacity of understanding. Resurrection, mystical artefacts, herbs and potions with amazing effects on the human body – there’s a lot to be discovered, examined… and probably feared. 


FEATURES

• Against all Odds: Survive by turning a bunch of strangers into a sworn fellowship.

• Every Game is a new Journey: Huge, procedurally generated hex grid forest map to explore – 600 tiles in size!

• Choose your Path wisely: Every action costs stamina points of which you have only a limited number each day.

• Continuous Asynchronous Multiplayer: Log in at any time during the real-time 24-hour day cycle to gear up with your fellow villagers and fortify the defenses or venture into the wild together.

• Keep your Body and Soul in check: Sanity and condition systems which will directly and indirectly affect your efficiency and playstyle.

• Strong Emphasis on Social Interaction: In-game Chat and Forum, where all key decisions are put up for discussion.

• Permadeath, Roguelike Elements: Everything you bring with you to the next Village is your knowledge and your ingenuity.

• Play by the Rules - or don’t: Vote to expel the Villagers who don’t contribute to the Village survival or simply try to ruin everybody’s experience.
