The game is set in a futuristic city called Freehold and emphasizes high-mobility movement including wall-running and grappling hooks across three-dimensional stages. Players can also pilot mechs that appear on the map, which are equipped with heavy weapons, unique abilities, and high HP, offering a significant combat advantage. An early access version is scheduled for June 25, during which the developers plan to make balance adjustments based on player feedback and add new modes, maps, and weapons. The development team has cited Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall series as an influence.","whyItMatters":"The demo gives players a first look at a Titanfall-inspired indie shooter that combines fast-paced parkour movement with mech combat, a niche that has seen few new entries since the Titanfall series went dormant.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo for EMPULSE went live on Steam on June 15, offering a taste of the 6v6 competitive shooter that 1047 Games has been developing.
