Independent game developer Kyrylo Burlaka has revealed Fracture Point, his new fast-paced roguelike first-person shooter that promises procedurally generated levels with looter shooter elements “in a realistic dystopian metropolis engulfed in a war between a powerful corporation and the resistance.”
Making your way up the corporation’s skyscraper, you’ll scavenge for gear and loot to upgrade your character as you go floor-by-floor fighting mercenaries, going toe-to-toe with security forces, and facing off against bosses. Watch the announcement trailer above and take a look at the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Fracture Point reminds me a lot of Criterion’s classic PS2-era first-person shooter Black, and perhaps you’ll agree when you watch the trailer. When I mentioned this to Burlaka, he said, “Criterion’s games were a big part of my gaming experience growing up,” so perhaps the comparison is warranted.
If you’re interested in following Fracture Point’s development progress and playing it as soon as it’s ready, you can wishlist it on Steam.
