Some of you might remember 2014's arcade FPS called Wrack, an oldschool FPS that was compared a lot with Doom, but which also had a lot of influences from games like Megaman which were sadly a little overlooked. The game did pretty well for an indie studio, but now they need help kickstarting a sequel called Wrack Starfall.
Starfall keeps the same gameplay mechanics from Wrack but expands on it by adding tower defense elements, where money earned from completing long killchains allows you to build towers and walls to help the defense of the Beacon on the map. And as before, long killchains with a certain weapon allow you to perform Finishers, which grow increasingly powerful as the killchain gets longer. In Wrack the pistol had a finisher that fired a penetrating bullet, which pierced through every single enemy it hit. The Pulsar fired a massive projectile which was slow, but burned everything in it's path. Stuff like that will be there in Starfall too.
I remember some criticism that there weren't enough weapons in the original game though, but now there will be 30, alongside a variety of towers, and the player's character can be someone other than Kane Sager too. 4 characters will be available if the game gets 30.000$, but a fifth is a stretch goal. Each character will have it's own unique weapon and tower, as well as a special ability.
More importantly, with $50.000 they can add a co-op mode to the game! And at $65.000 they'll port the game over to consoles as well. So if that's something you would be interested in, please throw some money at this! Make it happen
