Scurge: Hive is a new isometric pixel art action title from publisher Ratalaika Games and developer Orbital Media. It is out now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4, priced at $14.99.
Players take on the role of acclaimed bounty hunter Jenosa Arma on a shocking and dangerous mission. Our heroine has been contracted by the military to recover a top-secret science laboratory on an obscure, distant planet. To her surprise, the cause of the disaster is a notorious virus known as “Scurge”, which can enslave all things to its destructive will.
Powered by bio-protective armor, Jenosa can resist but not destroy “Scurge”. She must use her agility, her weapons, and her wits to contain and ultimately defeat the cruel virus before it spreads.
