Fast-Paced City Platformer, Matterfall, Gets Some Gameplay

Matterfall is a brand new platformer being created by Housemarque. In Matterfall, players will take on the role of a mercenary who is clearing the city of enemies and corrupted red matter. Luckily for you, there is plenty of access to the good and pure blue matter that you will be using to activate platforms and build up your shield power.

In an interview with the developer, Jari Hokkanen, at E3, he talked a little bit about progression and storyline. Basically, your main objective is to go level by level and kill everything evil that you come into contact with. While doing this, you are encouraged to explore your surroundings and look for civilians. At the end of the levels, you will be able to gain new weapons, powers, shield, etc. If you manage to save some civilians, that will also allow you to augment yourself in brand new ways.

It's a very fast-paced action game that will keep players on their toes. Whether you're flying around with a grenade launcher, or you decide to blast people away with a shotgun, you're going to be moving very quickly. The game will be coming out exclusively to PlayStation 4 on August 15 in North America and August 16th in Europe.
