News: Super Mutant Alien Assault will be on Xbox One, PS4 and PC a little later this month with randomized levels and unlockables.

Super Mutant Alien Assault is heading to Xbox One on July 12. Developed by Cybernate and published by Surprise Attack Games, players will wield an arsenal of weapons, explosives, sidearms, special abilities, perks and defensive moves while tearing through randomly-generated levels solo or with a friend.

Taking inspiration from unforgiving arcade classics and Vlambeer's Super Crate Box, Super Mutant Alien Assault is a dance with death across randomized single-screen levels where dodging is as just important as shooting if you hope to survive. Played solo the game is frantic, but with local co-op, a second robot enters the fray, taking the platform shooter action to a new level of mayhem.

Featuring a near bottomless pit of unlockable weapons, explosives, sidearms, special abilities, perks and defence moves, each single-screen level is a randomized combination of layout, vending machines, enemies and objectives. You'll never know which weapons or grenades will spawn in the vending machines or which special abilities, sidearms, perks and defense moves will be served up. The more you unlock, the more mind-boggling the possible combinations.

Some of the key features for Super Mutant Alien Assault include:

Intense and Brutal Action - Rapid fire levels give you no rest as hordes of enemies arrive, hell-bent on your destruction. Clear the objective quickly and be sure to kill each enemy before it has the chance to mutate into a bigger, nastier version of itself. Take a tiny breather and then it's on to the next room.

Dance with Death - In the tight confines of the space freighter, standing still is not an option. Your ability to dodge around enemies is as important as your aim. Survival requires quick thinking and rapid reflexes and a true master of the dance is a beautiful thing to behold.

Different Every Time - Each single-screen level is randomised, drawing on a pool of platform layouts, objective types and enemies as well as which vending machines will be present. You'll never know which weapons or grenades will spawn in the vending machines whilst crate drops containing special abilities, sidearms, perks and defense moves are also randomised, adding further to the mind-boggling possible combinations.

Overflowing With Unlockables - A wealth of weapons, sidearms, special abilities, perks, explosives, defense moves and character skins awaits you. Each new unlockable joins the melting pot of random ingredients, increasing your options but also the need to master each individual element and the way they combine with each other.

Play Solo or With A Friend - Take on the mutant hordes by yourself or team up in local co-op. Two player adds further complications to master as you must be careful to avoid friendly fire from explosives and will have to share/fight over item and health pack drops.

Keyboard and Controller Support - Fully customisable controls using gamepads, keyboard or a combination of the two.
