Now having unlocked the first stretch goal of €20,000. Which now introduces Vandalism while gaming. Featuring an extended cover system, more destructible objects, the ability to knock down walls with the cybernetic fist. Yet also comes with a pulsating Acid Techno track from Jukio Kallio (Nuclear Throne and LUFTRAUSERS).
“We are ecstatic over the news of our reaching the initial funding goal for All Walls Must Fall, in the first five days. So we would like to thank every backer that has belief in our vision, now we can turn this into a reality,” said Jan David Hassel, Designer of inbetweengames. “Since we are excited about pushing our vision of gaming for All Walls Must Fall further. Hence the announcement of two stretch goals of Vandalism! And Act 2: West Berlin”.
Since further stretch goals include unlocking of Act 2: West Berlin to the closed alpha if the Kickstarter campaign hits €75,000. The introduction of Act 2: West Berlin, will double the campaign length, introduce Alev – a cyber-warrior, who represents the present and whose brand of time manipulation revolves around the present, with the abilities to FREEZE (where the world stops moving but Alev can still act) and SPLIT (where an avatar copy repeats the first set of Alev’s actions. while she performs a second). Like all agents, she also is an expert with UNDO.
While coming with a sleek cyberpunk aesthetic and pulsating electronic soundtrack. All Walls Must Fall is on schedule to launch on Linux, Mac and Windows PC. All Walls Must Fall combines classic turn based gameplay with a heavy emphasis on music. All inspired by the likes of X-Com, Syndicate and Rez.
In the world of All Walls Must Fall, the Cold War never ended. For 150 years, both sides have used time manipulation technology to observe and counter each other’s every move. Now this fragile state of affairs is approaching breaking point. Since a rogue nuclear strike has been ordered, this will send the world into turmoil. Both sides have scrambled to send agents back in time to find the person behind the order in the hope they might prevent it. If they fail, the whole world will turn to ash, forever.
All Walls Must Fall is an isometric tactics game where action happens to the pulsing beat of the music. And having played the pre-Alpha on Linux, we have to point out that this is an impressive game. Where players control time travelling secret agents as they jump and loop through a single night in the city of Berlin. Using a pausable real-time system, players can carefully plan decisions and use powerful time manipulation abilities to your advantage. All while you carry out your mission in the shadows or in plain sight. Levels are procedurally recombined using a bespoke system developed by inbetweengames. Therefore All Walls Must Fall has a highly replayable campaign structure. While still offering individually crafted components and set-pieces.
So our gaming news feature for the All Wall Must Fall Kickstarter is certainly worth a look. Let alone very worthy of a pledge. For more details check out the official website.
