Still the best stealth mechanics around!

So it seems Basingstoke has still got the most innovative stealth mechanics around in an action game! A game where just acting sneaky has the desired effect. By way of an explanation, some people may not have realised how easy it is to be stealthy in Basingstoke and consequently not enjoyed themselves quite so much as they would have done if they'd known. So here's how it works:

You don't need to ever use the Sneak key.
You can run for a couple of seconds before you start to make any noise at all.
The noise you are making can be seen by a little seismic pulse that emanates from your character. The bigger it goes, the wider the noise radius
The longer you run, the bigger the noise you make.
You can see whether you're visible by holding the cursor over your character.
The radius at which you are visible is from the top to the bottom of the screen.
If you can't see it, it can't see you!

Hope that helps in your adventures!

And we're making a new game, the successor to Revenge of the Titans (which is on sale in the Summer Sale!), and it's called Battledroid, but we need your help!

Basingstoke is a tense roguelike that mixes stealth and arcade action. Explore the smouldering ruins of apocalyptic Basingstoke, UK, a world of extreme peril where reanimated undead and ferocious alien monsters roam!

Scavenge and Craft

Loot and craft as you explore. Lob a tasty sausage roll as a diversion, or poison a kebab for bait. Sneak up and knock a monster out with a whack from a cricket bat, or slice them up with a chainsaw. Tranquillize them with a dart fired from a homemade blowpipe, or set them alight with a DIY flamethrower. There's over a hundred useable items to loot or craft!

No Second Chances

Use stealth to sneak, weapons to attack, or if all else fails, run! But be very careful - one bite and you'll be ripped apart to become a tasty snack for monsters! Violence is your last resort. Sneaking, skullduggery, and ambush are your tactics.

What is Basingstoke?

Basingstoke is a town in England, renowned for its charming mix of hand crafted and procedurally generated features. Explore, above and below ground, and enjoy its many attractions. Rob a parking ticket machine, vandalise a keep left sign, go shopping at the OMNImart24/7... or if things get a bit much, hide in a wheelie bin.

Unlockable Characters

As you progress you'll unlock new characters. Start as a Tourist and capture those special moments with your selfie stick or splurge at the shops with your OmniBank GoldCard. Play as the Thief and use your Locksmith gadget to crack security panels and break safes. Each character has specialist equipment, unique crafting recipes... and hats!

Achievements and Trading Cards

The Royal Mint have issued a special commemorative set of Basingstoke themed coins to celebrate The Apocalypse. 1p, 2p, 10p, 20p and 50p coins can be yours, as well as an especially shiny pound coin. Collect them all, and a full range of achievements, trading cards, profile backgrounds and emoticons! Unfortunately we're not allowed to show you a picture in the store, you'll have to earn them by playing :)
