Research and Destroy: The Power of Science Compels You!

This is our very first original video game Investigate and DestroyIt is available now

Investigate and DestroyIt is both a single-player or co-op turn-based action and strategy game. What’s turn-based action, you ask? Similar to traditional turn-based strategies, the opposing team takes turns attacking and moving with its characters. Instead of simply instructing units how to move, fire or research, you can direct their movements and actions just like in an action game.

Investigate and Destroy, you’ll step into the shoes of three brilliant super scientists as you research and develop strange new weapons and gadgets to destroy the supernatural hordes that have crushed humanity. With the elimination of mankind, the supernaturals have created peace in their time – but that’s all about to change. Those poor ghouls don’t stand a chance against the power of science!

You’ll gain fresh insights into the science of the spooky as you perform battlefield vivisections in your search for the source of the supernatural horde. Along the way you’ll visit plenty of creepy castles, deadly deserts and vile villages filled with ghosts, zombies, vampires, trolls and who-knows-what-else. RadVan, your trusted (?) RadVan is your trusted (?) path of destruction – when he’s not preoccupied with one of his many hobbies, that is.

Campaign play is about liberating supernatural slimebag strongholds and gradually regaining control over the world. Each playthrough will be unique because of your strategic decisions. Spend $cience to earn money and spend it on defenses, universities and other necessities. Explore and develop radical new upgrades to each weapon and gadget that you like.

Investigate and Destroywas built with the co-op concept at its heart. Once you have completed a few missions, the game can be played cooperatively with any player in the Xbox ecosystem, including on the cloud, via couch co-op or online. Any part of the game can be played in single player or in co-op and players can drop in and out of a friend’s open game at any point in the campaign. Are you having trouble with a particular mission? You can ask your friend to help and join you in tackling the ghosts. Just be super careful where you point your Laserizer when there’s an extra team of scientists on the battlefield – those things can hurt!

We’re a micro studio releasing our very first original game, so you can imagine our excitement to bring it to Xbox. We’ve had great fun developing a game that has something to say but isn’t too serious about how it says it. We hope you’ll join the fun!
