“Task Force Kampas” has launched on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to keep your ongoing lockdown days busy. [A PS Vita version is expected to launch later this year]
“Task Force Kampas” – the product of Spain-based developers Casiopea and Hong Kong-based Eastasiasoft Limited – is a visit back to the old-school arcade-style shoot’em up with some Japanese game elements tossed in along with new, modern mechanics and randomly generated stages with hand-crafted bosses. “Task Force Kampas” can be finished and won but players can find a way to continue past the ending and claim even higher scores.
The storyline in “Task Force Kampas” features a team of outcasts in the wrong place during an evil invasion. Now they must contain the breach, save their friends and defend the universe from corruption.
Unique risk-vs-reward mechanics allow you to boost your power by attacking or you can repair your ship by ceasing fire. Meanwhile, seemingly endless challenges and a variety of unlockables keep you occupied for more runs.
