Description
Skyratz: Early Birdz is the Steam Early Access version of Skyratz, a multiplayer aerial combat game that combines modern game features, engaging characters and old school flight action. Select your hero and maneuver through the skies to maintain your spot on the pecking order in several multiplayer modes.
During each match, players will learn more about Avion City and the war between The Rock Doves and Owlington Capital, as our Dynamic Dialogue system threads together the characters’ relationships that will make the game fun and engaging for years to come.
Features
Training Arena – Fly solo or with your friends through Avion City with no time limits or rules. Perfect for those new to the game or experts that want to hone their skills.
Top of The Flock – Hunt for items and put your aerobatics to the test as you duke it out in our Battle Royale mode. 30 birds can enter, but only one will be crowned the Top Gun.
Dynamic Dialogue – Learn about each character and their relationships through their dialogue with each other at the beginning of or at the end of each match. The more you play and the more we update the game, the more you’ll learn about Avion City and its many heroes and villains.
Hero Pages – Learn the backstories of all of Avion City’s playable Heroes and listen to select voice lines.
Career Profile – View your data from your matches played so you can better gauge your performance and celebrate your achievements.
Social – Connect with friends or recent players and easily form groups so you can take your wingmen with you in every match or simply hang out in the training arena.
More features On The Way so come back soon!
Our Story
Megachomp Interactive was born in the food court of the Glendale Costco, while Gabe Arniella and Anthony Shields were eating hot dogs.
Seriously.
Gabe, a video game executive who has worked at Activision Blizzard, Niantic, and Scopely, was mulling over his ambitions to start his own game company, while Anthony, a tech-journalist turned screenwriter, was watching a group of pigeons harass a bunch of kids. Inspired by his love of Starfox 64 and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Anthony pitched Gabe the idea that would become SkyRatz and Megachomp Interactive was formed shortly thereafter. Together they are hoping to run a studio that is dedicated to reviving old school game concepts and combining them with modern multiplayer features.
Over the past year, Gabe and Anthony have spent much of their time creating the world of Avion City and developing the best mechanics to make Skyratz’ flight combat fun and unique. Of course, none of this could have been done without the hard work of their lead engineer, Klein Boelter, who has been responsible for bringing their ideas to life with expert speed and quality, as well as the many artists, actors, and friends who have lent them their talents along the way.
Although Skyratz is currently only in Early Access, Megachomp Interactive has big plans to get it to a full release sometime in 2022. We hope you’ll be flying by our side until then.
