Cryogenic Boogaloo
Frozen Synapsetook turn-based strategy and upended it with simultaneous action, and to this day there isn’t much else like it (except maybe the American football-esque offshootFrozen Cortex). There isn’t much to the announcement ofFrozen Synapse 2; all we have are the screenshot above, a music track bynervous_testpilot, and the vague description that it will be open world.
That’s the part I have a little trouble wrapping my head around. The originalFrozen Synapsewas broken into discrete parts, such that each level was its own shooty puzzle to be solved. In an open world, a lot more can go wrong with the formula. It will be interesting to see how developer Mode 7 Games will tackle it. More information should come out in the next few weeks.
