Obscure for Windows PC, PSN and XBLA is a pure, action-rich 2.5-D side-scroller drenched in the blood and caustic humor inspired by the teen and horror movie genres… a spirit that definitely shows through today’s video!
Playable alone and in cooperative mode (through local & online modes), Obscure lets you play as one of four unlikely heroes; students, each with unique skills and abilities that develop throughout the adventure. Geared toward action and all-out brawling, Obscure’s combat emphasizes combos, follow-up attacks, and score-multipliers. Survive against packs of monsters trying to skin you alive, discover new weapons, and complete objectives throughout a variety of huge, non-linear levels.
Overshooting the scores will earn you experience points to level your character up, unlocking new weapons, skills, and other devastating abilities. At any time, you can even get back to some of earlier levels to try your new toys and beat your scores.
Obscure rises to an entirely different scale in multiplayer. In cooperative mode, up to four players (again, through local and online modes) team up to survive. Split up to fill your objectives as fast as possible, or stay together in a cohesive team to increase your chances of survival.
