Watch the ChainStaff Metal, Mayhem, MAXIMUM CARNAGE Trailer
Developed by Mommy’s Best Games, ChainStaff comes from the incomparable mind of industry veteran Nathan Fouts (POSTAL 2, Ratchet and Clank ToD, Resistance Fall of Man) and features a distorted world to save, as players swing, shoot, and spear their way through hordes of vile, mutating monstrosities. ChainStaff will also feature epic boss battles that blend massive scale with precision projectile-dodging, frenetic shooting action.
Those prepared for ChainStaff’s frenzied, heavy metal chaos can expect key features such as:
-
Master the ChainStaff | Hurl the all-powerful alien weapon as a spear and slice aliens in half. Throw it to the ground as a shield to stop incoming attacks. Grapple and swing on just about anything. The transforming ChainStaff does all this and more, and all with one button.
-
You Died | Pounded to mush, stabbed through the heart, sheared in two. Prepare to meet your doom in a myriad of disgusting ways. All deaths are avoidable, but some dangers may require special strategies.
-
Ferocious Foes | The creatures of Earth have been mutated by aliens called Star Spores: an intergalactic menace hellbent on smashing us into oblivion with gargantuan beasts and endless waves of deadly projectiles.
-
Grotesque Upgrades | Stranded soldiers dot the landscape of ChainStaff. You have to choose whether to rescue them or devour their organs; each option has unique benefits and will lead to different endings.
-
10 Wildly Designed Levels | Fully hand-drawn art backdrops complex levels in a living world inspired by album covers of the 70s and 80s.
-
Killer Soundtrack | Rock out to the classic metal soundtrack by the award-winning composer Deon van Heerden of Broforce and Warhammer 40k: Shootas Blood & Teef soundtrack fame. There’s some lighter interludes with 70s synth, catchy melodies, and even some cowbell. Now it’s back to the heavy tracks, where it’s time to bang your head while smashing skulls.
