KOG Games Launches Top-Down Tactical Shooter ‘Return Alive’ on Steam
Irvine, CA., (October 23, 2024) – KOG Games, a leading developer and publisher of the popular free-to-play RPG Elsword, GrandChase, and KurtzPel, has released ‘Return Alive’ on the Steam platform.
Released as Early Access in the Epic Store platform, ‘Return Alive’ is a Top-Down Tactical Shooter Game. Throughout the Early Access, Return Alive has done many updates to improve and provide in-depth, battle-focused gameplay.
Set in a post-apocalyptic background ravaged by war, ‘Return Alive’ focuses on the struggle for survival in the lawless lands. Survivors must fight mutated beasts, self-aware robotic weapons, and other mercenaries found in the Abandoned Lands plagued by the chemicals from the war to survive and escape to safety.
As the first shooter game developed by KOG Games, Inc., Return Alive focuses on an easy approach to action. The game focuses on team-based battles with a tactical approach to overcome enemies and claim victory.
The biggest change in the Steam Launch is new Modes for the game. The new mode focuses on providing tactical gameplay content from Top-Down View. ‘Top-Down View’ is optimal for seeing the overall situation in the battleground in a single glance. Through this, players can adjust their positions and strategy on a real-time basis and master the flow of battle. This provides tension and fun in the battle as players have to adapt quickly to the changes in the tides of battle.
The game modes consist of Blackstar Capture, Conquest, and Battleground. In all matches, players will compete in a 3 vs 3 team battle format. For Blackstar Capture, the team that first collects 15 crystal fragments in the middle of the map or the team that has the most fragments at the end of the match wins. If the character dies, the character will drop all fragments and can be picked up by other characters.
Conquest is a mode where players conquer the zone in the middle of the map. The team that has conquered a zone will gain points over time. The first team to get to 100 points will win.
The revamped Battleground has removed the fight for resources and improved growth so that it is easier and less pressuring. 3 players will team up to cooperate to defeat enemies and escape from the battleground together.
Game Director Jae Gwan Lee states that “Return Alive is structured so that players will emerge victorious by utilizing Top-Down View to strategically position themselves and cooperate as a team. With the in-depth tactical play combined with shooter action, players will experience a great surge of fun in action.” More details can be found on the Steam Page for ‘Return Alive’ and Official Return Alive Discord channel.
