Abaddon: Retribution Coming To Xbox Live Indie
One of the best games on the Indie service is getting a sequel, and we've got the newest trailer.
Last week we highlighted the original Abaddon as one of the best games available on the Xbox Live Indie service. Justin Kellogg, the developer of the game, was kind enough to send on some info on his upcoming sequel.
Abaddon: Retribution will feature a full campaign/story mode that will include a host of new weapons and abilities for your ship. There's also a PVP mode. Otherwise, the game should share a great deal in common with its predecessor, a great twin-stick shooter with tower defense mechanics thrown into the mix. As a small fighter ship, you work to defend the massive battle cruiser called Abaddon.
Kellogg reports that Retribution will be available on the Xbox Live Indie channel within the next couple of months. You can watch the game's progress over at the game's website. In the meantime, you can check out this video of some of the new abilities in action.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
