A cooperative first-person action game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, developed by the creators of Zeno Clash and Rock of Ages. The gameplay in The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is about embarking on expeditions into a jungle overrun by monsters and supernatural forces.
ACE Team is a development studio from Chile, known for projects such as Zeno Clash and Rock of Ages. The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu described here is a cooperative action game created by them, drawing inspirations mainly from the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
In The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP). We take on the roles of expedition members who venture into a cursed jungle in hopes of finding untold treasures.
The core of the gameplay consists of journeys into the jungle, where we navigate through dense foliage, facing monsters lurking within. Enemies are eliminated primarily using firearms and melee weapons. Besides demonic creatures, we must also contend with otherworldly forces that test our senses, causing hallucinations.
All of this makes good communication with fellow explorers and coordinating actions key to success. Hard work is worth the effort, as the deeper into the jungle we go (literally), the more dangerous the adversaries become, and the more overwhelming the madness grows. However, at the end of the journey awaits a gateway to an underground world, and beyond it, the promised riches.
Our base of operations is a galleon, where we can prepare for missions by selecting appropriate weapons and other equipment.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is primarily designed with online co-op mode in mind for up to 4 players.
