'Superior' Available On Steam Early Access

Superior is a co-op, roguelite, 3rd person shooter where you run a series of missions that are generated dynamically with special objectives, enemies and environments.

Hunt superheroes, steal their powers, save the world. Team up with friends to battle evil, mutated superhero bosses and their army of twisted henchmen.

Start each mission unpowered and outgunned as you hunt down superheroes, steal their powers, and save the world. As you succeed in your mission, characters are upgraded with a branching skill tree, granting more powers and abilities to take on more heinous heroes. Armed with a powerful arsenal and your teammates, you advance through a sprawling hyper-stylized superhero universe with multiple locations and dynamically configured missions. 

With hundreds of unique superpowers, weapons, items, and abilities to upgrade and choose, Superior offers millions of combinations for extraordinary combat.

Superior is now available on Steam Early Access for $24.99 with a 15% launch week discount, and will remain so for about 3-4 months.

Superior is nonstop, moment-to-moment action, challenging players to embark on a superpowered survival-fest,” said Ray Davis, CEO of Drifter. “Whether solo or in our favorite co-op mode, Superior gives players a ton of goals, inventive power sets, unlocks, and skills resulting in never-ending play options.”

"The Early Access version will feature about 85% of the content that will be in the full game, but is fully playable from start to finish, either solo or as a co-op team of up to 3.  All of our starting characters and enemies are already in. We expect to add a bit more content upon full release, but the primary features that we expect to come with full release is the first seasonal battle pass along with more cosmetic items for players to equip."

Superior is being developed by Drifter (known for Robo Recall: Unplugged and Lies Beneath), led by AAA developers with a pedigree from Gears of War, Doom, Halo and Apex Legends. 

Key Features:

  • Customizable Characters - Each character has their own play style, distinct advantages, and unique skill tree. All can be upgraded through play.      
  • Boosting Abilities – Every session players earn XP and unlock new skills and overdrive abilities, like Satellite death beams or stealth mode.  
  • Weapons - Start your run with lower-level weapons like pistols and a baseball bat. As you run and gun, pick up more powerful equipment such as grenade launchers, railguns and plasma blasters.
  • Combat Powersets - Dozens of powers are in powersets for the player to unleash:
    • Fire Powerset - burn enemies as you leap into the air on jets of fire, or launch fireballs
    • Ice powerset - create ice sheets for speeding up allies and cause chilling damage through ice spikes
    • Force powerset - use force fields that deal damage, create explosions and knock enemies back
    • Xeno - An alien goo that swarms to your aid in combat and allows you to shape-shift at will
    • Volt - Control electricity and transform into a being of pure energy
  • Monstrous Adversaries - Square off against 6 unique ex- superhero bosses, and an army of their henchmen.  Each character unleashes their own brand of super-powered chaos, from force fields to fireballs.
  • Dynamically Changing Experiences and Worlds – Players encounter new challenges and monstrosities in their mission as they fight through hours of dynamically changing timelines.  Mission objectives, routes, and adversaries are also dynamically reconfigured, making no playthrough ever the same.

Superior is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for launch in 2023.
