It’s nice to see a game you love become big enough to inspire other studios, and it’s hard to deny the similarities between Trident’s Wake – released into early access today – and Helldivers. It’s a four-player (offline or on) twin-stick shooter by Bacus Games with procedurally generated missions. Players work together to complete multi-phase missions while being hammered by waves of angry aliens. While outwardly familiar (yes, there’s friendly fire), it looks like there’s more focus on loot, character customisation and weapon upgrades. See the launch trailer below.
