"The Walnut Creek-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher Modus Games and Stockholm-based (Sweden) indie games developer Crackshell, today announced with great thrill and delight that their hack-n-slash action-adventure/RPG "Hammerwatch II", is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) this summer (2023)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Previously only available on PC through Steam, Hammerwatch II now releases on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
HPP: "Ultimately, Hammerwatch II makes too many poor design choices for me to recommend it to most players. There’s a good game in here somewhere, but it's buried under too many flaws."
