straka.studio with SUPERHOT PRESENTS, are thrilled to announce that their monstrous ‘Dark Souls meets Tetris’ action roguelike, Loot River, hits PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 now.
This launch makes room for a raft of updates across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, including a brand new level editor allowing players to create, play, and share custom levels with cross-platform support.
Update Benefits
Along with the new level editor, players can also expect loading times that have been decreased by more than 50%, improved frame rates, and other general improvements. The PlayStation version of the game also features haptic vibration support and the ability to jump into the Daily Run straight from the PlayStation system UI via the PlayStation Activities system.
These updates add to improvements made since the game’s Xbox and PC launch, including the addition of leaderboards, Daily Runs, new enemies and items, and an easy mode with animation canceling.
In Loot River, players can harness the power of the Relic to shift the ground beneath them, sliding around on the floating pieces of ruined landscapes.
These Tetris-like blocks can be slotted together to solve spatial exploration puzzles and employed creatively as a tool in combat to manipulate enemies and control the space in which your battles take place. As players venture through these endless catacombs, they’ll encounter horrifying beasts, lost travelers, and epic bosses.
Critics on Loot River’s PC & Xbox release:
As players explore ruined waterways, they can discover a wealth of new weapons, gear, spells, and unholy knowledge: swords that thrust you forward towards enemies; axes that shoot projectiles; elemental enchantments; spells; armor and charms that imbue you with unique abilities.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Loot River so far and continues to do so as we’ve made improvements since the game’s original release – We’re so thrilled that Loot River is out today on PlayStation and we can’t wait to see what players do with our level editor that will be joining every platform.
Miro Straka – Creative Director
