News: A new twin-stick shooter on wheels will arrive on Nintendo’s portable platform in a few days.

A new twin-stick shooter is heading to the Nintendo Switch next week with Pressure Overdrive. This is a steampunk-shooter on wheels that creates a unique action-arcade vibe with its colorful world, various enemy types, and dynamic physics effects. The game includes different game modes, customizable player buggies, and a local coop mode so you can invite your family and friends to join you for sessions on the Nintendo Switch to challenge the nasty Count Soap and his minions, and earn their online high score ranks among the best.

“Pressure Overdrive will be the perfect Switch experience“, says Dominik Schneider, CEO at Chasing Carrots. “We are looking forward to players being glued to their couches, frantically putting their thumbs to a test in order to master pure arcade action.”

“I always wanted to realize a twin-stick shooter, that is also fun using a controller with only one stick”, says Richard Wepner, lead programmer at PainDevs. “Switch players can control their buggy with a single JoyCon and hand over the other JoyCon to a friend to join them”.

All game modes can be played cooperatively by two players on the same screen, with shared results being recorded in a coop high score. The Campaign Mode offers over 30 levels, including boss battles, in three different worlds. In Freeplay Mode, previously unlocked levels can be mastered again under new conditions, the Endless Mode challenges through fast-paced action and continuously increasing difficulty. Never fear as you can upgrade your buggy with over 35 weapons and gadgets to take up the fight for ’La Resistance‘.

Pressure Overdrive will be available on the eShop beginning Thursday, April 4, for $12,99, 10.99£ and 12.99€. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you be picking it up?
