Robots fight for and with emotions in M.O.O.D.S. The roguelike shooter from Freiburg-based StickyStone and publisher Erabit will be released in Early Access on 29 July.

StickyStoneStudio from Freiburg and publisher Erabit have announced that M.O.O.D.S. will be released in Early Access for PC on 29 July. In this Top-Down Twin-Stick-Shooter und Dungeon Crawler, which costs just under ten Euros, robots abandoned by humans have developed the Moods module to be more like their creators. Hostile factions have formed on the basis of individual emotions, plunging the world into chaos. A group of peaceful Mechs set out to restore peace. To do so, they must reboot the Mech Lords. On their journey, they meet other peaceful robots who invite them to their base and join them in their mission. With futuristic weapons and add-ins - modifications that change the way the weapons work - they are well equipped for this battle.

There are five classes with different abilities and stats: Pride has a reflective shield, Love can control enemies, Sorrow is aided by a mechanical dog, Joy summons a turret friend and Rage simply goes wild. All emotional skills can also be improved. It can be played alone or in local multiplayer, online only via Steam Remote Play.

StickyStoneStudio is a young team of game developers based in the heart of Freiburg. Twelve people currently work there. Their previous games include the first-person puzzle adventure Memorrha, the educational app LogoLeon and an interactive concert hall app for the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. In addition to their own productions, the team also offers services in game and app development as well as 3D visualisation with Unity.
