Everbloom Games has officially announced the release date for for Nullpoint Protocol, a 1-4 player co-op roguelite that delivers the intensity of MMO-style raid encounters without the grind. The game is currently scheduled to launch on April 6th on Steam.
“Ever since our demo launch earlier this year we’ve been working really hard at improving all aspects of the game, it’s been a challenging but rewarding journey for our team”, Tom van Berkel, co-founder of Everbloom Games, said in a release to media. “After tons of positive feedback from showcasing the game at conventions, we can’t wait for players to finally get their hands on the full game, it’s a dream come true.”
What is Nullpoint Protocol
Nullpoint Protocol aims to capture the feeling of MMORPG raids in an approachable roguelite format. The game takes inspiration from roguelikes such as Rabbit and Steel as well as boss raids in MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV.
During each run, players hunt down the Void Shepherds: enigmatic monstrosities that appear capable of pulling entire planets and stars into oblivion. As a Hunter, your job is to find and destroy as many of these creatures as you can before returning to defend your homeworld from the creator of all Void Shepherds.
Each boss fight unleashes complex attack patterns, which you must learn to read and dodge. Every run gives you another opportunity to hone your skills, unlock new abilities, and upgrade your character.
The game dynamically scales difficulty based on party size, ensuring that solo play and co-op sessions remain equally challenging and balanced
Founded in 2016, Everbloom Games is a small indie game studio that has made its name creating games for the Minecraft Marketplace, collaborating with brands such as Disney, Dungeons & Dragons, and Universal. Nullpoint Protocol marks the studio’s first original indie game developed outside the Minecraft ecosystem.
