MotorSlicefeatures the high-speed and frantic parkour gameplay ofPrince of Persia.
Meanwhile, the heavy machines youll be destroying draw striking similarities to the beast machines inShadow of the Colossus.
But not every machine youll run into is the same.
Specifically, youll run into one dreadful mechanized structure that will change the entire course of the game.
Story
Set on a derelict megastructure,MotorSlicecasts you in the shoes of a female protagonist.
Get ready to run amok in a world of liminal brutalist landscapes and massive heavy machines.
Your character, a girl who only goes by the name P, may be the only human around.
But that wont certainly take away from the sense of adventureMotorSlicehopes to craft.
Each encounter with the mechanized structures ofMotorSlicewill most likely be different.
Particularly because youll need to engage them in combat and take them down before they kill you.
Itll be interesting if the machines have backstories or personalities.
Or perhapsMotorSlicewill take a mindless-carnage, kill-or-be-killed approach.
Combined,MotorSliceseems to be shaping up to deliver an outstanding mash-up of brilliant, tried-and-tested ideas.

Itll also feature physics-oriented objects, which youll use to solve the problems youll come across navigatingMotorSlices brutal landscapes.
The goal is simple: Get in, eliminate all the machines, and get out.
