Meet the KIBORG DEMO reveal!

KIBORG will be BACK! Hello from Sobaka Studio! We will be participating in Realms Deep presentation hosted by 3D Realms! Vasily will return with a special surprise. Join 3D Realms livestream on YouTube or Twitch on September 30th at 8 PM CEST/ 11:00 am PT/ 20:00 CEST. The event will show lots of cool games, which will be appreciated by fans of old-school action games.
What is KIBORG? Kiborg is our new super action game - brutal roguelike action with RPG elements. The main character is Vasily. He is a cyborg, who has been artificially implanted with a personality of the main hero of the ancient computer game Redeemer. On the prison-planet Sigma, Vasily has to gather and lead a rebel group in the fight for a better future. But such things are never going smoothly. Add Kiborg to your Steam wishlist.

A new transmission from planet Sigma has just arrived. We are receiving information about a prison inmate who became uncontrollably violent. He killed everyone in his path: our team, other prisoners, even mutants! This was made possible by certain unusual transformations of the inmate's body. It is important that you study the footage thoroughly. Remain vigilant. Be prepared for anything. https://youtu.be/z2dguMtBCr0 About The Trailer: In this video, you can get a glimpse of KIBORG's dynamic combat gameplay. You can switch between melee and long-range weapons quickly, utilize special combos and powerful moves to defeat any enemy you encounter. There are multiple strategies for battle in Kiborg, and whatever style you prefer, it can be enhanced with cyber implants! This set is specifically designed to improve long-range combat and weapon handling. The torso implant functions as a mobile bullet factory, while the head implant includes an advanced aiming system. The arm implant grants access to a special weapon known as the Gunslinger Revolver. By equipping the entire set, you will transform into a cyber-gunslinger capable of firing an unlimited number of bullets. In addition to that, your accuracy and lethality with any weapon will be above comparison. Alternatively, you can choose to combine this set with some Guardian implants, to become a walking fortress with impressive firepower.
