UniqKiller: A Customizable Top-Down Shooter Hitting Mobile and PC

Spotted at Gamescom Latam, UniqKiller, developed by Sao Paulo-based HypeJoe Games, is a top-down shooter aiming to stand out in a crowded market. Its prominent yellow booth at the event attracted significant attention, with many attendees trying out the demo.

HypeJoe's strategy hinges on extensive customization. Instead of the typical first-person perspective, UniqKiller employs an isometric, top-down view. While unique, this is unlikely to be its primary draw. The real selling point is the deep character customization, allowing players to create truly individual Uniqs. Further customization options, impacting both appearance and combat skills, unlock as you play.

The game features multiplayer modes, including Clan Wars and special events, designed for players of all skill levels. HypeJoe emphasizes fair matchmaking to ensure balanced gameplay.

UniqKiller is slated for release on mobile and PC, with a closed beta scheduled for November 2024. Keep an eye on Pocket Gamer for updates and an upcoming interview with HypeJoe Games.
