- 5-player cooperative roguelike survival game that achieved 323% of its Tumblbug goal
- A harmony of charming cartoon-style visuals and captivating survival strategies
K-indie developer Fifty One Percent announced that it will release the 5-player cooperative roguelike survival game ‘Pebble Knights’ as an Early Access title on Steam on April 13.
Pebble Knights is a roguelike game that combines cute cartoon-style visuals with cooperative strategic survival gameplay. It has garnered enthusiastic anticipation from indie game fans both at home and abroad even before its release, having achieved 323% of its Tumblbug crowdfunding goal.
A cooperative battle for the survival of the Pebble Kingdom
The world of ‘Pebble Knights’ is simple yet full of character. Set in a world where the Pebble Kingdom is on the brink of collapse due to an invasion by the ‘Hellfungus’ army, players can become a king to command a knight order or join a knight to participate in battles directly. The game supports single-player as well as co-op play for up to five players.
Players must strengthen their characters, acquire special abilities, and collect powerful items to fend off the onslaught of enemies swarming every night. Only strategy, cooperation, and combat prowess are the keys to survival. The choices, build configurations, and division of roles among team members that vary with each battle combine to create a fresh flow of combat every time.
Charming cartoon-style visuals and rhythmic gameplay
The game’s visuals are based on an anime-style cartoon, delightfully depicting battles waged by cute, round pebble characters. A bright and playful tone is consistently maintained throughout the game, to the extent that even the description of the world is expressed through rhyming copywriting.
The daytime, spent gathering minerals to strengthen the kingdom, and the tense nighttime, spent fending off hordes of enemies, alternate, creating a rhythmic harmony of visual tension and relaxation. The game’s sound is also designed to heighten the tension of cooperative combat.
Selected for the Gyeonggi Game Audition, a highly anticipated title that achieved 323% of its goal on Tumblbug
Pebble Knights successfully concluded its Tumblbug crowdfunding campaign, which ran from late last year to early this year, achieving 323% of its target amount. Additionally, it was selected for the Gyeonggi Game Audition follow-up support program, receiving recognition for both its gameplay and growth potential.
In addition, the quality of cooperative gameplay was significantly improved based on user feedback collected through the Steam demo. Since the demo’s release, positive reactions have spread rapidly within the community, with the strategic depth hidden behind the game’s lighthearted and cheerful visuals receiving particularly favorable reviews.
This Early Access version adds a new area called the ‘Underworld,’ further enhancing the combat experience with diverse bosses. It also stands out for elevating the game’s depth through build expansion, offering replay value, and a progressive growth structure.
