Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on April 3, developer Tribetoy announced.
Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing is a single-player action-strategy roguelike in which you’ll oversee a flying airship in a multi-stage competition being broadcast as a deadly reality TV show. You’ll have to use keep your wits about you, as you manage your ragtag crew to keep your vessel afloat, fend off incoming attackers, gather resources, and search for treasure. Like any good reality show, forging temporary alliances is the name of the game, as players team up with NPCs to conspire against the most dominant threats. Just be aware that there’s little honor among sky pirates and only one captain will be crowned victorious.
Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing also features a Ready Player One inspired community event wherein the first player to uncover a secret treasure will be immortalized forever in the game. Will you be the first to uncover this long lost treasure?
The original Bow to Blood launched as a PlayStation VR exclusive in August 2018, where it received rave reviews from Upload VR, DarkStation, and Push Square, and this newly christened multiplatform release adds a slew of new content. This update drastically enhances the game with an all new Hard Difficulty setting, more enemy ships, and improved art making airship destruction more eye popping than ever. Those with the PlayStation VR game will receive all the new content, along with the option to play outside of VR, for free. PC players will be happy to know that the Last Captain Standing release will offer Oculus Rift and HTC Vive support for the full immersive experience.
In Bow to Blood you will compete to become Champion of the Arena, as its inscrutable Overseers test you and your fellow challengers in a winner-takes-all reality show.
TAKE COMMAND
Stand at the bridge of your mighty airship, pilot your vessel and fire your cannons. A wide variety of opponents will keep you busy as you employ split-second tactics to stay on top of each new situation. Your ship also comes equipped with an array of powerful weapons, each with their own specialty.
Order your crew between various stations to strategize and customize your ship's strengths for every situation. When assigned to a station, your crew can use their expertise to push it beyond its normal operating capabilities. Shields provide an extra layer of protection, the turret gives you another gunner, drone control unleashes powerful automatons that menace your opponents, engines provide a significant speed boost, and sensors highlight valuable items in the world and jam incoming projectiles.
Use your command console to route power between ship systems to charge and activate critical abilities, or overcharge a system for a massive short-term boost!
Pull out your trusty sidearm when things get up close and personal! Repel enemy boarding parties to prevent vital components from being disabled.
FORGE ALLIANCES AND PLOT BETRAYALS
Your AI rivals in Bow to Blood have their own motivations, objectives, and personalities. Assist your fellow challengers and gain their support, or exploit them for personal gain and earn their enmity. The choice is yours, but choose wisely – challengers will remember how you have treated them, and in the Arena, grudges die hard.
At the end of each match you’ll need enough friends to avoid getting voted off the season! Make sure someone always has your back, or earn enough points to go it alone. When it comes down to the vote, how confident are you that your allies will follow through for you?
EVERY PLAYTHROUGH IS UNIQUE
Randomized encounters and a rotating cast ensure that no two experiences will be the same. Play over and over again to discover new environments, opponents, and challenges. Bow to Blood also offers a 'hard' difficulty mode with all new opponents and greater risks if you crave the challenge!
EARN SPONSORSHIPS AND REWARDS
Impress fans, overseers, or other captains to earn sponsorships that upgrade the capabilities of your ship. Complete challenges to gain rewards that fill your private quarters.
