Recoil Games has announced that Rochard, the puzzle platformer that was released exclusively on PSN on the 27th September, will be landing on Steam next week on the 15th November. The game was and is the first game developed by the indie developer, will be priced at $9.99 USD.
Rochard uses gravity-based puzzles in this scrolling platform title, as it tests the player’s ability to coordinate and use gravity to their advantage. The players use the special G-lifter tool to solve environmental puzzles and advance through each level. By using the upgradable device, players can lift and maneuver heavy objects around the environment, and can eventually swing, jump and propel themselves huge distances throughout each level.
The light-hearted story itself follows the tale of astro-miner John Rochard as he and his mining team discover an ancient structure hidden deep in an asteroid, mankind’s first proof of extraterrestrial life. Soon after, John’s team goes missing and space pirates attack the mine, and John quickly realizes there are dangerous forces at work, determined to use the mysterious discovery for their own means.
