Wired Up
A downloadable game for Windows
Wired Up
Wired Up is an online multiplayer action RPG where players must synchronize their actions to defeat enemies.
The game is set in a futuristic world, where everyone has powers arising from cybernetic wires implanted in them at birth. You will play as a voluntary hero from an isolated town who must counter the return of an evil scientist, whose aim is to control people through its technology.
The game is divided in levels that can be explored to gain experience and find useful resources for your adventure. Battles are performed as a party, where everyone covers a different role and must chain their actions to make them effective. Without the right timing, the enemy won't receive any impact from attacks.
Level up your character, extend your wires and unlock new abilities to get as powerful as you can!
Gameplay
The game is played by three players who must cooperate to reach different goals.
Every character has different statistics and set of abilities, determined by their colour. Abilities can be used by setting a target and extending the wire, which can be connected either to enemies or allies to perform, respectively, Attacks or Assists:
- Attack: when a player connects its wire to an enemy, there is a time window during which another player can connect their wire to the same enemy. This will activate both players' attacks, which will resolve their effect in order. Failing in connecting a second wire before the timer expires will instead cancel even the first connection.
- Assist: if a player connects their wire to an ally, the effects will activate immediately.
Abilities and dashes cost a certain amount of Energy and wires can be broken by enemies.
The winning condition is to reach the end of the level with all the players of the party alive.
