Available to purchase and download now on Xbox One for £4.99, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Task Force Kampas comes from the team at eastasiasoft (previously behind Null Drifter) to reimagine the arcade space shooting scene, dropping you into the action as you control a team of misfits attempting to battle back against an alien invasion.
Task Force Kampas is all about saving your friends and stopping the universe from being utterly corrupted. With a host of SHMUP elements in place, you’ll be required to bring your very fastest reactions to the table, as your eyes and ears are pummelled by a vibrant pixel art style and pumping techno soundtrack.
