Rataliaka Games – those behind many an indie game such as the visual novel Aquadine – are today getting into the seasonal spirit, with a first-person shooter sure to shake you to your very core. Move over Modern Warfare II – Bones of Halloween is here to be the best shooter this spooky season – only with less Captain Price, and more freakish pumpkin monsters!
Releasing today on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch, Bones of Halloween wakes you up in a dark forest near an eerie castle, with deformed pumpkin skeletons risen from the grave and hell-bent on taking you out! They are shooting fire, lasers and explosions galore your way, so you must arm yourself to the teeth, and dispose of as many of these creatures as possible.
It’s Halloween fun in every sense of the word, with multiple game modes, powerful weapons and difficulties to get to grips with, all in the name of saving your candy.
Across the five different survival modes, and twenty challenges to get working on, one of the most unique systems in play during Bones of Halloween is that of the fortune cards. Appearing throughout the shooting bananza happening on-screen, these cards could prove lucky for some, or be a dastardly twist of fate for others.
Pistols, shotguns, rifles – you name it, and you’ll most likely be able to use it against the pumpkin skeleton hoard, as you venture through the forest and attempt to survive for as long as possible. How long will it be before ammo supplies dwindle, and you get torn apart by Jack Skellington-looking foes? Well, there’s only one way to find out!
Key game features:
- * Halloween-themed first-person shooter
- * 5 different survival modes
- * 20 different challenges
- * Grotesque monsters
- * Different weapons
Bones of Halloween is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and Switch. For Xbox players, you can pick up a copy via the Xbox Store for £4.99.
Happy Halloween hunting!
