An unusual online space shooter was released on Steam

The other day the studio Surgical Scalpels announced the release in early access Steam action game Boundary, where players fight in zero gravity in the orbit of the Earth. The use of spacesuits and battles in space are radically different from any other multiplayer shooter in this project. Here, for example, it is not possible to be guided by sound - the participants of the matches rely on their vision and readings of sensors in helmets. We tell you about these and other features of the novelty in more detail.

Battles take place in space - around and inside orbital stations. The heroes in the game are called astrooperators, but are equipped in the manner of modern astronauts, except that the spacesuits and jetpacks are accompanied by tactical gadgets and weapons. The characters move in three-dimensional space, without the support of any surfaces, which opens up a wide range of maneuvering, but also requires getting used to the controls. In addition, airless environment absorbs most of the sounds - the gamer hears only the noises that are transmitted to his suit through the vibration of the surrounding objects. That's why you have to track the enemy with your eyes - looking around and at the radar readings.

Boundary is designed to turn the experience of fans of the genre upside down. Here you cannot brake sharply, unless you crash into some obstacle, the angle of attack must be chosen beforehand to shoot the enemy on the move, and you can be attacked from anywhere - not only from the corner, but also from above or below. On the other hand, the traditional mechanics of online shooters are also taken into account. You can customize the appearance and arsenal of any character.
