Ukrainian game studio RetroStyle Games has introduced its second project, Last Pirates: Die Together. It’s a cooperative game about pirates in a genre sometimes called friendslop.
The developers describe the project as a 4-player cooperative horror game in which players take on the roles of pirate characters with uncontrollably long and flexible arms. Players must work together to recover stolen items from ghostly locations and break a powerful curse.
The action of Last Pirates: Die Together takes place in a pirate setting with spooky locations and various monsters, but is not devoid of humor.
«Remember, you’re here for the gold! Take everything valuable, search every corner, but don’t return empty-handed. Feel the drive of adventure and make sure that at least one of you survives and brings the gold to the ship,» the game’s description on Steam says.
Last Pirates: Die Together can be attributed to the so-called friendslop genre, which is called fun cooperative games with a small budget. The gaming industry has an ambiguous perception of this term, which is seen as having negative connotations (the word slop means something of poor quality), but it has managed to become entrenched in the vocabulary of players. Friendslop is often attributed to such popular projects as Lethal Company, REPO, Peak, RV There Yet? and others.
The developers plan to start testing Last Pirates: Die Together in March of this year. The game is currently available to wishlist on Steam.
Previously, RetroStyle Games, which is engaged in game outsourcing, announced the release of version 1.0 of its debut game Ocean Keeper: Dome Survival.
