Pawarumi is an upcoming shoot ’em up, in a futuristic, yet pre-Columbian inspired universe, and in it, the player has one life to live. If that weren’t dangerous enough, every hit you take reduces the strength of your shields by a third. But it does feature a mechanic known as the Trinity. The three basic weapons are controlled by colored divinities – Condor (laser) is blue, Serpent (Gatling gun) is green and Jaguar (missiles) is red. Enemies you face are powered by the same divinities, and by targeting with the same as them, or different color, you trigger one of the three bonuses of the Trinity – Boost, Drain or Crush. But be warned, there are both positive and negative consequences. Get ready, Pawarumi hits the Switch and Xbox One on July 24th.
Daniel Borges, Manufacture 43, “There are no boosts, ammo, extras or anything. We kept what’s essential in a shoot’em up – shooting, dodging, blowing stuff up – and added our own “trinity” mechanic instead. This very simple directive really works resulting in hand-eye blasting coordination of the highest level!”
