Here's a first episode of our short Introduction to Hover: Revolt of Gamers

Backstory

ECP17 is a huge extraterrestrial futuristic city where a resistance crew contests the dictatorial powers of the new Great Administrator.



The Great Admin decided to cut all communications with the Galactic Union and others space colonies. But the worse part is that having fun was made illegal, and all kind of entertainment including video games have been banished.



With the help of high tech gears, the rebels roam the city to sabotage the anti-leisure propaganda, help the citizen, and find a way to reach the Orbital Station in order to call the Galactic Union for help and put an end to oppression.



You can explore the world and the game’s storyline through different ways.

During the main missions you will learn more about the Resistance’s heroes and their plans for saving the City. You can also find many codices into the city which allow you to learn about the political and technological context.



You can also spend some time to decipher posters in extraterrestrial language, even find some Easter eggs and many secrets hidden everywhere in town.

Fusty Game, Midgar Studio and The Sidekicks are proud to announce that after a successful Kickstarter in 2014 and a very fertile Early Access period, Hover : Revolt of Gamers is now released on PC, Mac and Linux.

It’s a real achievement for the Fusty Game team, composed of only 3 young developers who received the support of Midgar Studio on the home stretch of the early access.




Hover: Revolt of Gamers offers an unique experience based on a fast-paced gameplay yet without violence, guns or blood. It’s all about “Parkouring” an incredible city, high speed racing, mega jumps, tricks and combos in a wide futuristic open world.

Hover takes you to ECP17, also called Hover City, a high-tech city built on a distant planet where the Great Admin established a strong dictatorship and banned any kind of entertainment.

Players are in charge of a team of young rebels, the Gamers, equipped with high-tech gears allowing amazing jumps and speed. They roam the city to fight against the new anti-leisure laws, sabotage the propaganda, help citizens, and find a way to put an end to the oppression.



Hover’s buildings offer breathtaking vertical playgrounds where you will have to prove your value. Deride the security forces, rise up to many challenges, assemble the best possible, upgrade your gear and experience the adrenaline of speed and height.

Hover : Revolt of Gamers is both a single and multiplayer experience. At any time you can switch from offline to online mode and join your friends or players from around the world. You can progress through the adventure by cooperating or play against them. Hover : Revolt of Gamers is a community-driven game offering many tools to players to create missions or mini games.
