11 bit studios announces Volatiles roguelike

Team Instant Defeat and publisher 11 bit studios have announced Volatiles, a top-down action roguelike set in a dark science-fiction world. The game features a unique mechanic where players design their own battlefield using tiles.

Gameplay begins with a single tile, and as players fight alien hordes and gain experience, they expand the battlefield. These tiles provide various tactical advantages, including weapons, upgrades, healing, tools, and defensive structures. Strategic tile placement is essential for creating effective builds and managing risky synergies.

The narrative follows a character with no memory who awakens in a shielded laboratory under the guise of receiving treatment. However, the protagonist experiences visions of non-existent battlefields while being observed by unknown entities. Volatiles is currently in development for PC via Steam, though a release date has not yet been announced.
