Ultra Age

Ultra Age is a slasher, similar to such series as Bayonetta or Devil May Cry. It was developed by indie teams Next Stage and VIsual DART.

Plot

The action of Ultra Age takes place in the distant year 3174. The game presents a bleak vision of the future, in which the earth's resources have been depleted and the planet's ecosystem destroyed by meteorites. Those who survived were divided into two groups - the first lived in a facility on the (once) blue globe called the Shelter, while the second fled to the Orbital Arc, supplied by the Shelter. When the supplies to the orbital ark are cut off, Age, a young warrior, comes to Earth's surface and, accompanied by the android Helvis, tries to find the key to the survival of the species.

Game mechanics

In Ultra Age we observe the action from a third person perspective (TPP). The adventure leads us through various locations, among which we find both postapocalyptic wastelands and futuristic complexes. Exploring them, we mainly fight with enemies. On our way there are various mutants and hostile robots. Clashes are extremely dynamic, and we eliminate opponents using a variety of swords - from light katana to heavy blades.

On the battlefield we have to show not only agility and reflexes, but also the ability to combine attacks in spectacular combinations. Age fights on the ground, and also throws opponents and hits them in the air. In addition, thanks to a rope and quantum warp skill he can instantly reduce the distance to adversaries. In addition, our warrior can change weapons instantly, which allows us to quickly adapt the character to the situation in the arena. As for the android that accompanies us - Helvis gives us access to the Critical Rage mode, in which for a short while we turn into a real killing machine, and can also heal Age.

As we progress we develop the hero, learning new skills and improving the ones we already have. Besides, on the way we gain resources, which are used to strengthen our weapons.

Technical aspects

Ultra Age runs on Unreal Engine 4 technology. Graphics looks good; for example, particle effects that accompany the exchange of attacks are very pleasing.
