I was given a PS5 code from PR Company 1UP PR @1UP_PR Publisher Kakao Games Corp @playkakaogames Developer Ocean Drive Games @OceanDriveGames
This is released in the UK on the 26/05/2025 and in the UK is priced at £15,99.
INTRODUCTION
Section 13 is a roguelite twin-stick shooter that can be played solo or in a group of up to 3 players in online or couch co-op modes*. As an Agent of the S2P Corporation, it’s up to you to investigate a crisis at the most top-secret facility of a company whose whole thing is keeping secrets.
FEATURES
- CONSPIRACIES TO UNCOVER, Step into the shoes of Agents Red, Boy Scout, Beaker, and Scalpel, as they fight to unearth the buried secrets of Section 13… and solve a few personal mysteries of their own. Collect data on paranormal entities running amok and find out what it all has to do with you.
- DELVE THE DARKNESS ALONE OR TOGETHER, When an Omega-level containment breach puts an off-the-books company black-site on lockdown, it’s up to a small team of expendable peons to get to the bottom of it. Literally. Tackle the mission solo or with up to two squad-mates. And with optional friendly fire, it’s up to you whether you’d like a more forgiving experience, or chaotic fun with mad-science weapons.
- TENSE TWIN – STICK ACTION IN THE WEIRDEST WORKPLACE EVER, As a Tier-1 paranormal containment facility, Section 13 is full of unique hazards, and it’s up to you to overcome them with quick wits and reflexes.
- Time your dodge-rolls and reloads to stay one step ahead of a horde of hungry monsters. Back against the wall? Pop off with a special ability… or grab a melee weapon and smash your way out. But keep an eye on your Fear level, or risk a debilitating mid-mission panic attack!
- CUTTING – EDGE TOOLS TO MASTER, Add some spice to every run with unlockable (and customizable) weapons, gameplay-altering Synaptic Enhancements, and of course, recreational genetic modification. (Some side effects may apply).
- Utilize special abilities and unique tactical items to outsmart pissed-off cryptids, navigate a series of shifting levels, and push deeper into the base with every attempt.
- Between deaths, you’ll also unlock persistent upgrades that change how you play and radically alter your chances of success.
FAN ART
Story is fun and interesting.
Enemies are cool as alot of variety to them and all have own look and own attacks to learn to avoid.
Weapons own look, perks and own feel to them as can make own build as can only equip certain amount of perks per gun but can swap them around make new builds and more.
Perks are cool as can make own build to suit own playstyle for each character and much more and can get upgraded perks offering even more cool stat rewards and much more.
Controls are easy to learn and easy to pick up.
Can be samey as alot of the areas feel the same and can be repetitive.
Can be daunting as alot of perks and skills for weapons and much more to learn.
Controls can be fiddly on a controller such as having communications and points of interest are set to L3,R3 such as the ability to highlight locations and more can be clunky on a controller as easy accidentally press in combat.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Overall the story is interesting and fun with enemies all have own look and own attacks and weapons all have own stats and perks to make feel unique and you have perks that can be upgraded to make own build to suit own playstyle and controls are easy to learn and pick up. However for £15,99, alot of areas can feel samey and repetitive and can be daunting as alot to learn as alot of skills and perks can use and controls can be fiddly on a controller.
