Hover: Revolt of Gamers is Jet Set Radio for a New Generation
Hover: Revolt of Gamers has been in Early Access for some time now and will officially release on May 31st, 2017 for PC and hit PS4, Xbox One and possibly more (looks perfect for a Nintendo Switch release…) later in the year. Screaming of Jet Set Radio inspiration, Hover is a futuristic open-world parkour game full of amazing jumps and high speeds, it takes place on a distant planet where a team of rebels is revolting against an oppressive dictatorship. It’s up to these rebels to use their flashy gear to roam the city and help the citizens. For that, they will need to sabotage propaganda and find a way to reach the Orbital Station of the Great Admin, in order to warn the Galactic Union and bring an end to the oppression.
Not only is the Jet Set Radio inspiration an obvious parallel to draw on visually, but Mirror’s Edge fans will enjoy the thrilling sensations offered by the game’s first-person traversal view. Players will thwart the anti-leisure policies by breaking the propaganda, spread joy and bring back fun to the people of Hover City. Hover: Revolt of Gamers will also please the fans by including music from Hideki Naganuma, the composer for Jet Set Radio, Jet Set Radio Future, Sonic Rush, and more.
Players have the unique option to instantly switch from offline solo to online multiplayer. At any time, players can join friends for some cooperative gaming, intense versus matches, or just roaming among the others. No matter where you are or what you’re doing in the city, it’ll be possible.
