As a professional gamer and fighting game fanatic, few things get me more excited than a promising new indie title that could shake up the genre. And that‘s exactly why Coreupt has me eagerly awaiting every new detail since its teasers first dropped.
Developed with a personal touch
Headed up by veteran game dev Jesse Wright, Coreupt immediately stood out for its transparent development process, consistent gameplay reveals, and level of engagement with the community from the start.
Compare this to the typical AAA fighting game marketing strategy – CGI trailers devoid of actual substance, locked-down NDAs, opaque beta access – and you can see why Jesse‘s honest, fan-facing approach is so refreshing!
In my experience, these development practices often stem from genuine passion projects vs corporate boardroom checkboxes. And given the mechanics and sheer style demonstrated already, that heart and soul seems evident throughout Coreupt.
Pushing next-gen graphical limits
Built in Unreal Engine 4 specifically for next-generation hardware, nearly every snippet showcases the visual boundaries Coreupt is ready to push. I wish you could see Dragonov‘s scales shimmering under sunlight or the flickering neon reflections during Sawn-Off‘s noir-esque super move!
I can‘t understate what a graphical leap forward these fighters and environments represent, especially for an indie fighter. The litany of post-processing effects, cloth physics, even facial animations are simply unmatched by current fighting game standards.
Innovative fighter movesets
Of course graphics alone do not make a great fighter – the play‘s the thing! And here too, Coreupt excels not just through balancing basics but dreams up entirely fresh abilities you‘d never see elsewhere.
As a quick example, pugilist Sawn-Off‘s wrist gadgets enable elaborate reversal combos and setups that flow like freestyle jazz. I‘ve crafted hundreds of hours perfecting spacing with Winry‘s kickflips and teleports to unleash her dual pistols. And Gatling might be my favorite newcomer – blink teleports to flank opponents while his lightning clones grab them from behind!
I could detail 10 more, but the bottom line is few fighters innovated so ambitiously before even launching. Every character preview unveils new battle possibilities.
Let your voice be heard!
If somehow you STILL need more convincing about Coreupt‘s enormous potential, Jesse himself has invited fans to vote on which two additional fighters will join the upcoming beta.
And between gunslinger Beretta‘s deadeye ricochets, the medieval explosion chaos of R.PG‘s arsenal, and more, I know these movesets will live up to their audacious namesakes.
So head over to Twitter, weigh in on your favorites, and get ready – because when this Beta drops, Coreupt is poised to change everything we know about fighting games today. The AAA giants better take notice!
Let me know which fighter you‘re itching to master first! I‘ll be right there training with you.
