Plain Sight Finally Seeing The Light Of Day

Author: Vince | Date: February 22, 2010

Way back at the Eurogamer Expo ’08 I stumbled across an interesting little game PC being demoed in the Indie Arcade section of the event, Beatnik games ‘Plain Sight’. Since then the game has spent the best part of 2 years going in and out of public betas, not normally a good sign for an indie game, but Beatnik have managed to pull themselves through the dark times and Plain Sight will finally see the light of day on March 22 exclusively on Steam for the very reasonable sum of $9.99.

Playing as your average ninja robot about town, you begin each game with a sword and a quantum of energy. Leaping across each level leaving a bright trail in your wake, you must destroy other ninja robots to steal their energy. As you get more energy you change colour and get bigger, stronger and brighter. This is where the catch comes in! You only get to convert your hard earned energy into game-winning points if you blow yourself up. The more opponents you take out in the explosion, the higher the multiplier, the higher the score!

Key Features:

13 multiplayer maps
Battle up to 20 players
5 self-destructive gameplay modes, ‘Deathmatch’, ‘Ninja! Ninja! Ninja! Robozilla’, ‘Lighten Up’, ‘Team Deathmatch/Weakest Clink’ and ‘Capture The Flag’
