A new indie games described as a ‘2D side-scrolling squad based RTS game’ has been announced, entitled Lead Jungle. The game is about guiding a squad of 4 elite commandos through a hazardous jungle, full of hazards to overcome. Each squad member possess a unique skills and weapons set, and serves its own tactical role. Some will be needed to ambush enemy patrols whilst others will take enemy bases by storm and all will be needed to defeat the games’ powerful bosses. Here is a list of features that Lead Jungle will include:
- Over 40 levels in main Story mode, full of unpredictable plot twists and hilarious moments.
- Two additional gameplay modes. “Challenge” full of tricky puzzles and “Lasts Stand” where your squad is faced against overwhelming odds.
- Unlockable different uniforms that change your soldiers skills, weapons, some squad roles and adds enormous replay value.
- Day and night cycle, semi-destructible environment, death traps, tons of guns, bloodthirsty enemies, stealth kills, do we need to tell you more?
Lead Jungle is being developed by a bunch of experienced developers and artists, who have worked at EA and Zynga, in their free time. Lead Jungle will launch on mobile platforms, tablets, PC and possibly consoles down the line, with Autumn 2013 being set as a tentative release date.
