Rochard, the game about a miner who bends gravity, will be moving to Steam. While it was originally intended as a PS3 exclusive release (that would run around $15 dollars), it will be sold on Steam at $10.
The game will be released on November 15th. Check out its Steam trailer and full press release below.
Recoil Games today announced that Rochard, its action-packed side-scrolling puzzle platformer, is set to debut on PC on November 15th. Having enjoyed a successful launch on the PlayStation® Network earlier this September, Rochard is a critically-acclaimed gravity-bending adventure packed with puzzles, action, humor and a rich story full of fascinating alien mysteries. The game will be available for download through Steam, Valve’s digital distribution platform, for $9.99.
Rochard follows the story of the humble astro-miner John Rochard as he and his mining team discovers an ancient structure hidden deep in an asteroid, mankind’s first proof of extraterrestrial life. Soon after, John’s team goes missing and space pirates attack the mine, and John quickly realizes there are dangerous forces at work, determined to use the mysterious discovery for their own means. Using only his wits, everyday mining tools and a healthy dose of sarcasm, John must fend off the pirates, save his team and solve the mystery behind his discovery.
Rochard features a modest hero, nefarious villains, big explosions, even bigger stunts and hilarious one-liners. The game allows players to change gravity at will to solve environmental puzzles and advance through each level. By using the main tool of the game, the upgradable G-Lifter, players can lift and maneuver boxes and heavy objects around the environment and can eventually swing, jump and propel themselves huge distances throughout each level.
