United Front Games, the studio that brought us the stellar Sleeping Dogs and the not so stellar Triad Wars have announced a new game today. Smash + Grab claims to pull its inspirations from the "cultural inspirations of movies like The Purge and The Warriors." That is to say, there is a lot of gang warfare going on here.
There will be an Early Access release coming this September through Steam. You can also apparently go to the Smash + Grab website to sign up for the upcoming beta.
Set in a dystopian future, Smash + Grab is an illicit underground competition where rival gangs compete for loot, weapons, and infamy.
Each team will need to grapple, shoot, and smash their way to victory by collecting $50k in goods from locked-down, high-end shopping districts – or from the opposing team! In rapid-fire, 15-minute matches, players raid increasingly larger stores, mod lethal new weapons like chain-saw-shovels and poison-crossbows, and afterward, level up with new perks and clothing.
In addition to unique combat moves, special abilities, clothing, and perks for each leader, Smash + Grab lets you customize your gang’s loadout. First, choose a lieutenant – each with their own upgradeable look and perks – and then pick the class for the rest of your five-person gang. Once you’ve readied up, victory can be yours through clever teamwork and smart tactical plays – with a couple of insidious ambushes and old-school beatdowns thrown in for good measure.
