  Sliding, rolling, climbing, slamming yourself into a tree, these are all common actions taking place as you battle across the island of Arakousa in MORTARMEN. You might have seen “mortar” in the name, as you might expect, every soldier is equipped with an infantry mortar that is easy to use and hard to master. Every mortar shell has their own camera to help dial in your shots and gets you a first-person glimpse of any oblivious foes in its path. To aid in dodging bullets and mortars, soldiers can navigate the landscape to their advantage by rolling and sliding, utilizing slopes of all sorts to greatly boost their speed. Obstacles including other soldiers prove to be perilous if one isn’t too careful, between getting knocked out or getting high-speed kill bonuses, velocity comes with its own risk and reward.
  Soldiers can choose to fight for the North American Coalition or the United Communist Front, where each have an established headquarters at the ends of Arakousa. Their goal is to claim territory, connecting their captured sectors that link back to their HQ, where they can use HALO forward jumps to maintain their frontline. Links can be broken, worse yet at their roots, breaking entire chains that render forward captured sectors useless until the chain is re-linked. Each sector has a medical table and supply depot that is used for rearming and providing sector defense, the amount of supplies determines the rate of capture. This means if ammo and meds are constantly being used, it will weaken their own sector, making it easier to be captured. For the more usual shooter aspects, players can equip themselves with an assortment of rifles, SMGs, and pistols with attachments provisioned through their personal tactical tablet. Tablets come preinstalled with shellOS where all necessary battlefield logistics can be found.
  MORTARMEN releases on Steam into Early Access on May 3rd, 2024, community feedback is the primary factor in guiding development forward. Character classes such as Mortarman, Recon, and Transporter all with their own unique equipment and abilities are planned before full release. Alongside expanding the PvP territory control gamemode is a planned four (or more) player coop mode where squads must infiltrate behind enemy lines, acquire intel, survive waves of enemies, and successfully extract.
  US based studio Crouch Jump Interactive is a two-man team, working hard in the after hours of their full time jobs of the last five years to launch their first title.
