Tiecorp Studio has unveiled its latest venture, Tiebreakers, a vibrant addition to the gaming landscape that promises to redefine the “run ‘n’ gun” genre. Set to launch on PC via Steam, the exact release date remains under wraps, leaving gamers eagerly anticipating further details.
About the Game
Tiebreakers offers a unique blend of 2D shooting action infused with the spirit of sports. Players will take on the role of the Tiebreakers, a group of spirited young heroes determined to save the world through the power of athleticism and teamwork. The protagonist, Li Sha, embodies this ethos as she wields an impressive array of sports-themed projectiles, including explosive tennis balls and formidable bowling balls, alongside the powerful Nutrigods.
As players navigate through the game, they will encounter formidable foes known as the “Red Cards,” former Tiebreakers turned antagonists. Engaging in high-speed boss fights, players must adhere to the straightforward yet exhilarating rules: score seven points with a two-point lead to claim victory. This shonen-style action game emphasizes themes of perseverance and the uplifting values inherent in sports.
History of Development
The journey of Tiebreakers began seven years ago as a modest side project while its creators, Tom Kurcz and Alexandre Re, were still employed at other companies. What started as a simple idea has blossomed into a full-fledged gaming experience, thanks to the contributions of talented freelance artists who joined the team. Together, they are committed to reviving the run ‘n’ gun genre, enhancing it with a shonen narrative that celebrates resilience and the joy of gameplay.
