Killsquad’s latest update takes on an interplanetary plague
Killsquad is about taking a gang of spacefaring mercenaries into hostile zones to do what they do best: wipe out anything that looks at them funny. The early access game just got a its first big content update after launching last year, and the new contracts you'll be taking on involve fighting a deadly plague.
Developer Novarama says it planned out the second act of Killsquad's story campaign well before coronavirus was on the public's radar. Crush the Plague is about a virus that's destroying the galaxy, and it's up to the Killsquad to save the day.
"We thought it's karma," designer Dani Sanchez-Crespo wrote in an email. "The update has been developed by a team in confinement, about heroes coming together to defeat a virus."
The update adds eight new contracts to Killsquad's storyline, bringing the total to 20. The new missions are designed for veteran players, people who have mastered the game's abilities-based combat, which is centred on precise timing, positioning, and knowledge of Killsquad's character classes. These include a gun-slinging robot in a trucker cap, a sword-swinging warrior nun, and a psychotic mutant gunner who wears a hockey mask.
