Atomic Picnic co-op roguelike shooter hits Steam Early Access soon

BitCake Studio and Mad Mushroom announced that the cooperative roguelike shooter Atomic Picnic will launch on Steam Early Access on November 7.

In the $20 title, players will dive into the chaos and thrill of a co-op bullet-heaven roguelike shooter and an anime-inspired visual style for an unforgettable picnic in the wasteland. BitCake Studio is a rare game studio based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (I visited the city as part of our brief Brazil global gaming tour recently).
