COUNTERATTACK: UPRISING
Developed by Relative Games and currently available on Xbox and Steam, CounterAttack features up to 8 online players and 4-player local co-op – delivering intense multiplayer action in a side-scrolling shoot ’em up.
In CounterAttack: Uprising, humanity is faced with a mechanical apocalypse. Beings known as “Automatons” are hellbent on the complete eradication of the human race – assembling an unstoppable armada and laying waste to everything in their path. With nowhere to go, humanity is forced to rush the Experimental Space Fighter program into production with 8 pilots leading the charge – each with their own ship and special ability supercharged by powerful Quantium:
- Ayumi (Tactical Nuke)
- Biff (Big Biff Beam)
- Marcus (Meson Shockwave)
- Joe (Overcharge)
- Sarah (Quantium Shield)
- Sloane (Fighter Squadron)
- Carl (Plasma Strike)
- Jinx (Hack Wave)
Fly solo or team up with other players in couch or online co-op. Build your ultimate ship by unlocking powerful upgrades – including special abilities and 600+ attachments ranging from engine turbos to full weapon conversions. Leverage the combination power-up system to create new weapons from scratch – and make your mark with a unique fighting style!
DEVELOPER QUOTES
“Being on a Nintendo console is a dream come true. To mark the occasion, the Switch port of CounterAttack is introducing a new subtitle – Uprising – which puts the spotlight on the game’s sprawling narrative. Once we launch on Switch, all other versions will get the Uprising moniker as well.”
– Tyler Boyes (Founder, Relative Games)
“CounterAttack: Uprising runs beautifully on the Switch – reaching 60 FPS at 1080p in docked mode and 720p/60 in portable mode. The game is incredibly enjoyable on smaller screens – something we already suspected after seeing it run on the Steam Deck. We think Switch owners will have a great time playing CounterAttack: Uprising on the go!”
– Rei Boyes (Director, Relative Games)
