Project Root is taking you back to your roots with classic arcade SHUMP action. In-case you weren’t around back in the heyday of arcades a SHUMP is a shoot ’em up, typically an overhead, top to bottom shooter. That’s almost exactly what Project Root is, classic ass kicking action, with non-stop enemies on the screen, power-ups galore and more explosions than a Cannon Group Film from the 80’s.
Project Root sounds like it deviates a little from the classic formula with a open-world environment letting you tackle enemies both on the ground and in the air. You’ll be flying a F-72 Zonda Hover Fighter, always loved the aircraft names they come up with in these games, taking on the evil Prometheus Corporation. Project Root is set to be released in early 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PS Vita but PC players can actually pick it up right now on Steam while console players will get their first hands on experience at the PlayStaion Experience this weekend, Dec 6-7 2014.

“As our first video game title, we wanted to bring back some of that classic arcade action to new gamers,” said Pablo Testa, Technical Director at OPQAM. “Project Root delivers fast, arcade shooting action in an open-world environment and we think it will have great appeal to players who love these classic ‘shmups’ type games.”

Taking place across eight different levels, players will take on enemies both in the air and on the ground; they’ll receive upgrades in firepower, armor and maneuverability while utilizing special weapon drops during battle, and engage in frenetic boss battles and strike at the root of the evil Prometheus Corporation.
