Developer: HyperDevbox
Publisher: Ziggurat Interactive
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC
Engine: Unity

ExZeus: The Complete Collection brings together ExZeus and ExZeus 2, originally developed by HyperDevbox. Both are arcade-style third-person rail shooters in which players pilot mech armor through waves of alien enemies, with fast, kinetic action that punishes sloppy execution.

This was another project for our partner Ziggurat Interactive. HyperDevbox had already moved both games into Unity, and Sickhead took that foundation and brought the collection to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. We also built the Steam release for PC, which required extra care to support the wide range of hardware, display settings, and input devices PC players use.

The collection shipped on all platforms on September 30, 2021.
