Independent game development studio In Vitro Games today announced their top-down adventure shoot ‘em up (shmup), Defenders of Ekron will be released on Steam and the PlayStation®Network on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system from Sony on July 11, 2017.
In Defenders of Ekron players will assume the role of Eneas, a bold cadet who is on the verge of becoming an Anakim pilot, a powerful cutting-edge mech enhanced with a special ability known as Isvará. During his final exam, something goes wrong and Eneas is unable to develop his Isvará, and as a result he is forced to join an experimental program to combat The Renegades, a rogue group of Anakim pilots who are hell bent on destroying the planet. At the same time, Eneas will find himself pulling back the tattered black veil of secrets surrounding the Technocratic Republic of Ekron.
Developed and published by In Vitro Games, Defenders of Ekron marks the Chilean independent development studio’s PS4™ debut, and also serves as the studio’s first major console release. Bringing a host of fresh features to the shmup genre, including free-roaming exploration, mixed melee combat, and other genre-defying features, Defenders of Ekron presents players with a truly unique experience. A story-driven narrative and hard rock soundtrack by in-house band, Action Replay, will keep players firmly strapped in their cockpits as they battle across 10 levels filled with a wide range of enemies and massive screen-filling bosses!
