Protect Humanity in USC: Counterforce's Next Fest demo!
Developer Angry Cat Studios and Publisher Firesquid are pleased to announce that their upcoming turn-based RPG USC: Counterforce will have a demo available during this week’s Steam Next Fest! Starting February 6th at 10AM PST, players that are eager to dive into the game can do so and experience a taste of what’s to come this March
Inspired by classic 90s tactical turn-based games, USC: Counterforce is a turn-based squad-tactics RPG set in an intense science fiction atmosphere. Players control a strike team of commandos who have been sent to planetary body M-8322 to investigate and eliminate an alien threat in a dark world inspired by the Aliens series and XCOM. Each of the game’s characters have their own unique skills and passive abilities and the game’s fully customizable campaign offers loads of replayability.
Starting February 6th, the USC: Counterforce demo will include a tutorial, two game modes (missions & operation), three maps, squad customization and five difficulty levels. This content offers many hours of gameplay so players can truly get an impression of what to expect from the full game when it releases later this year. Also during Steam Next Fest, the development team will be hosting two live streams on the USC: Counterforce Steam page. Check out the details below:
