SOUTHPEAK’S AWARD-WINNING ‘RAVEN SQUAD™’ EXPLODES INTO RETAIL
80’s Action Movie Inspired
Game Seamlessly Blends RTS & FPS Gameplay
SouthPeak Games announced today that Evolved’s
Raven Squad is now available
for the
Xbox 360® video game and entertainment platform from Microsoft and
Windows®-based PCs. Raven Squad is one of the first games to
successfully fuse strategic RTS and fast-paced FPS action into one game;
blowing minds and winning awards around the world.
“Raven Squad fuses two fantastic genres into one game and features
content and situations that wouldn’t be out of place in a classic 80’s
action movie,” said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing at SouthPeak. “Over the
top action, dialog and great game play combine to deliver a game with its
tongue firmly in its cheek and its finger on the trigger. In a world where
clichés are cooler than oiled pecs and objects that explode for no good
reason, Raven Squad ain’t got time to bleed. In fact, we’re happy to see
that many titles initially scheduled for this year can’t stand to have their
burritos toasted by Raven Squad and as such have put in a full
retreat to 2010.”
Raven Squad
puts players in the boots of two groups of mercenaries as their plane is
shot down over the Amazonian jungle. Caught in the midst of a civil war in
Brazil, it’s up to these gods-among-men to fight their way out of this
hostile environment as they drop bombs, one-liners, and a smattering of
politically incorrect and geographically challenged statements faster than
you can say “get to da choppa.” Players have complete control over their
gaming experience, whether in RTS mode, FPS mode or a mixture of both,
switching on the fly. Not only that, but the fully cooperative story mode
offers gamers the chance to play the entire game with a friend or loved one
online or locally via system link. Tear your way through 12 awesome levels
of intense hot jungle action as you revel in the team’s witty banter and
highly explosive tendencies.
Raven Squad has
a suggested MSRP of $49.99 on Xbox 360, $39.99 on PC and has an ESRB rating
of T for Teen.
