Surgent Studios has revealed its next game: FixForce. Sticking to the studio’s pattern, FixForce is completely different from what Surgent has done before–unlike grief-driven metroidvania Tales of Kenzera: Zau and surreal first-person horror game Dead Take, FixForce is a chaotic cooperative game in which you play as a team of robots charged with repairing a post-post-apocalyptic world.

Designed for up to six players, FixForce sees you and your friends each take control of a robot and do your best to complete repair jobs within a time limit. Viewed through first person, you primarily complete assignments with a tool that allows you to telekinetically pick up, rotate, and throw junk or machine parts scattered throughout the environment to solve environmental puzzles. Your tool can also affix items to others, allowing you to construct makeshift bridges, ramps, and towers to aid in exploration.

To confound your team’s efforts, each of you spawns in with a battery representing your health, and hazards will chip away at that health if you’re not careful. You can’t survive being in water, for example, and occasionally enemy bots will latch onto your character’s chassis and begin sucking away your battery. Allies can help you–making a walkway for you to get out of a pool you accidentally fell into, for instance, or pulling off the energy-sucking enemy bots and tossing them away–but they can harm you too. With a simple click (purposeful or by mistake), you can push an ally off a ledge to their demise or steal their battery to power something you need.
