Super Crush KO is the next title from Vertex Pop, the crew behind Graceful Explosion Machine and WE ARE DOOMED. It continues the studio’s penchant for colorful worlds and fast-paced shooting action. It also adds more melee options than the studio’s previous, more shooter-focused games. More importantly, it stars The Cutest Cat In The Universe™ (although they didn’t actually trademark that title).
Vertex Pop was at E3 to demo the game, which is coming early next year to Nintendo Switch and Steam. The demo was a short level that gave access to most of the game’s power-ups, allowing for a nice look at how it will play at its craziest. There were aerial combos, dodges that deflected bullets, and plenty of robots to smash. But yeah, the cat is probably the most crucial part.
Next year, Karen will set off on her quest to stop the aliens from taking her cat away, and maybe also stop their invasion if she feels like it. Stay tuned, as we’ll be keeping an eye on Super Crush KO. It’s sure to be another creatively colorful action game in the Switch’s lineup.
