PAX Aus 2018: SOEDESCO brings their best to the showroom floor

Dutch Publisher SOEDESCO made their way to PAX Aus this year to showcase a selection of games in their line up. I was lucky enough to have some time with them to go over the titles they were showing off to the PAX Aus crowd.

In particular, SOEDESCO was showing off 4 titles: Xenon Racer, a futuristic arcade racer; 8-Bit Armies, a console based RTS title; Truck Driver, for those who dream of the open road; and Omen of Sorrow, a PS4 exclusive arcade fighter! Something for everyone.

Xenon Racer

For those that are fans of the F-Zero series, SOEDESCO’s arcade racer Xenon Racer will be right up your alley. Xenon Racer is an arcade racer set in a future were all racing is done with electric vehicles, boosted with Xenon gas, at ridiculously high speeds. For those who come form the F-Zero series, you’ll feel right at home with the adrenaline pumping, fast action gameplay mixed with a neon futuristic aesthetic.

Xenon Racer was announced on October 3rd and will be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC soon.

8-Bit Armies

Upon first look, 8-Bit Armies caused the classic GameBoy series Advance Wars to come to mind, but that really isn’t doing the game justice. With an 8-Bit voxel aesthetic, an intuitive control scheme, destructible environments & co-op support, 8-Bit Armies is a must for any RTS fans who are playing outside of a PC environment. Anyone who plays RTS games knows that managing units and systems with a controller can be an absolute nightmare, but what made 8-Bit Armies stand out for me is how well they’ve been able to work the controls to feel intuitive and natural on a console while still giving the player a good range and accurate control over their units. If strategy titles are your jam, be sure to check 8-Bit Armies out!

8-Bit Armies is available now for PS4, Xbox One & PC

Truck Driver

Have you ever wanted to sit in a truck for 8 hours a day, making deliveries to ungrateful-demanding people, in a vehicle that’s hard to drive? Well neither have I, but Truck Driver made this an enjoyable experience for me while I was at PAX. Truck Driver lets you customise your truck how you want, roam around beautiful environments and has a focus on narrative surrounding the community you’re working with. If you’re a fan of Truck Sims and you feel like a good plot and engagement with the characters in the world will keep you coming back for more, give Truck Driver a look.

Truck Driver is currently expected to release soon on PS4 & Xbox One.

Omen of Sorrow

The Forth title that SOEDESCO was showing off was a new arcade fighter Omen of Sorrow. Featuring tons of different gameplay modes, online casual and ranked multiplayer, over 200 unlockable items, local versus, story mode and more features than I can fit in a sentence. Omen of Sorrow is an unmissable fighter for those who are fans of the genre and are looking for a deeply engaging story framing the fast action carnage!

Omen of Sorrow is available now exclusively for PS4.
