Leading Southeast Asian game publisher, Neon Doctrine, and developer Hunter Studio have recently announced the impending launch of their new hand-drawn 2D fighter game, Drill Man Rumble. The announcement was made at Evo 2023 during the Indie Fighting Game Showcase. Drill Man Rumble offers both single and competitive multiplayer game modes, slated for release in November 2023.
Immersive Gameplay in Drill Man Rumble
The exciting action-packed game casts players as Drill Warriors who participate in the Great Tournament. In this pursuit of honor and glory, players can select from 11 unique playable Drillers and navigate through various single and multiplayer game modes. One of the key challenges is to avoid getting hit, as a single hit can result in a player’s downfall.
Diverse Gaming Modes
Drill Man Rumble puts a player’s mettle to the test with diverse game modes. Players can compete in the multiplayer Arena Mode with up to four participants, or engage in the relentless eight-player Bounty Mode to hunt fellow Drillers. Alternatively, the single-player Drill Mountain story campaign offers players the opportunity to face platforming challenges and hone skills such as Rebounding Mayhem and Super Speed.
Statement from Neon Doctrine
The CEO of Neon Doctrine, Iain Garner, expressed his excitement about the reveal of Drill Man Rumble, labeling it as one of their most ambitious projects to date. He emphasized that they are looking forward to seeing how players will enjoy the game when it is released on PC and consoles later in the year.
Key Features of Drill Man Rumble
Drill Man Rumble distinguishes itself with its DIY, or Drill It Yourself, gameplay. Players can strive to conquer Drill Mountain in the single-player story mode. Alternatively, they can enjoy the thrill of competitive play by battling in the four-player Arena Mode or engaging in the endless eight-player Bounty Mode.
Another unique feature is its hand-drawn characters and game world. This adds an artistic flair to the game, enhancing its visual appeal. Additionally, the game offers an online map editor, enabling players to create their own hardcore platforming challenges.
The eagerly awaited Drill Man Rumble is set to launch in November 2023. With its array of gaming modes, unique hand-drawn design, and customizable map editor, it promises to provide an engaging and challenging experience for players.
