Ultra Mission brings Robotron vibes to the Vita

Ultra Mission from Gumbo Machine is one of the last batch of titles hitting PSN before Sony closes the doors for new releases. A top-down shooter, inspired by classics like Berzerk, Frenzy, and Robotron 2084 (or Llamatron if you prefer), Ultra Mission sees players take on the role of an agent from the Stellar Exchange Commission, sneaking around 20 looping labyrinthine rooms. 


Their mission? Investigate a laboratory that hasn’t been keeping the best financial reports...among other, more potentially sinister things. Unlike many modern top-down shooters, Ultra Mission is more meticulous in control; the only weapon players have against the cybernetic horde is a single-fire ray gun. 

A combo system, ranging from 1 to 10, encourages skilled combatants to destroy multiple enemies in a row. It looks fun and I have plenty of Llamatron memories from the 16-bit era, so am looking forward to a blast on this. 


Update: EU PSN release confirmed (developer wasn't sure if that would happen).
