Awesome Industries have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch: Tacticool Champs, a multiplayer twin-stick shooter party game. It will be released this Fall in Europe and North America.

Tacticool Champs is a multiplayer twin-stick shooter party game for up to 4 players, either online or couch. You control one of a varied lineup of 10 characters on a square blocky arena, pick up a weapon and use it to show your adversaries where their place is. The environment is destructible which as game progresses makes for some amazing and hilarious moments and the inclusion of exploding and incinerating barrels, jump-pads, teleports and grappling hooks only adds to the mayhem. The diverse arsenal of 18 weapons will ensure everybody will find something to satiate their bloodlust. Aside the staples of any weaponry based game like pistols, shotguns, SMGs or sniper rifles you may find some bizarre methods of destruction in the form of gravity guns and grenades, explosive remote controlled cars, turrets, etc. The game features an online mode, a couch multiplayer and bot matches. There are 10 distinct arenas available with 60 different block layouts which you can modify in the in-game editor.
