Flying Amateurs has officially announced its latest title, Above Land: Rhapsody, a distinctive sci-fi fantasy action-RPG with roguelite and tower defense elements. Set in a unique cloud-based civilization, players will explore floating islands inhabited by colossal mythical creatures known as Kun. The game is designed for three-player co-op and promises an array of unconventional weaponry, including swords, bows and arrows, and even items like chairs and basketballs. This whimsical approach to combat is showcased in the recently released trailer, as first reported by IGN.
In Above Land: Rhapsody, players will embark on a narrative journey through chapters of a comic book left behind by the protagonist’s mother. Each chapter presents distinct visual maps and thematic challenges. Players will venture between a decaying present and a nostalgic past, where humanity and the ancient Kun coexisted in harmony. The game features a mechanic where players collect “Stars” to repair the stranded invincible Bebe, unlocking additional chapters as they progress.
Combat mechanics will allow players to dual-wield a variety of weapons, switching between different loadouts on the fly. A wide range of armaments will be available, from traditional swords to imaginative childhood objects like fireworks and folding chairs. Additionally, the weapons are upgradeable, enhancing strategic gameplay.
Each player in Above Land: Rhapsody will be accompanied by a Wobbo, a companion character with transformative abilities and various combat modes. This addition not only adds depth to gameplay but also introduces a layer of charm and cuteness to the overall experience.
The game is now available for wishlisting on Steam, allowing interested players to stay updated on its release and further developments.
