Big Games of 2012: Namco Bandai Turns Shooters Upside Down with Inversion

Saber Interactive plays with gravity with new shooter

Saber Interactive is twisting the shooter genre around, literally, with its new title, Inversion. The game, which Namco Bandai is publishing in 2012, introduces vector-shifting gameplay that has players shooting from the sides of buildings and fragging opponents while upside-down. The developer talks about turning the genre upside down in this exclusive video interview below.

 

 

 

Inversion puts players in control of Davis Russel, a young father and husband who finds himself thrust into war when his peaceful city is invaded by an unknown enemy. With his daughter missing and conventional weapons and tactics all but useless, this ordinary cop and his partner Leo Delgado will rise up to heed the call of duty, master the fundamental forces of gravity and save the world.
