Multiplayer-focused sidescroller KarmaZoo announced – Niche Gamer

Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Pastagames have announced KarmaZoo, a new multiplayer-focused sidescrolling game.

KarmaZoo is coming to Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 sometime this summer.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

KarmaZoo is about helping people, working together, and finding bliss in cooperation — especially when things go wrong.

Make meaningful connections with completely random players online as they are all striving alongside you to earn the most precious resource of all: Karma.

Features

• A NEVER-ENDING CHALLENGE – The Loop is where you’ll join a team of up to 10 random players around the world. Together, you’ll tackle a series of increasingly challenging levels that adapt to the size of your team, the characters you play and the perks you pick together. No two runs are quite the same when the players and the game itself are changing!
• THE POWER OF KARMA – Doing good earns Karma! Stick together, use your character’s strengths, and even sacrifice yourself because helping one another is essential in the Loop’s deadly challenges. Every good thing you do, one way or another, earns you the sweet Karma you’ll use to unlock new characters and abilities for future Loops.
• LOCAL MULTIPLAYER – Welcoming friends or family at home? Compete to reach the top of the Totem on a single screen. Challenge up to 8 players in frantic quick-fire mini games that bring a new spirit to abilities that were designed for doing good.
• TAILORED FOR YOU – Anyone can help their team earn Karma! Whether you’re new to games or a seasoned veteran, you’ll find a community reaching for a common goal. Available in 22 languages, cross-platform play between PC and console, and private lobbies to play exclusively with friends, we invite all of you to the KarmaZoo!
