Slam Land Announced for August 7th
ROCHESTER, NY – July 10, in the year of our Lord 2018
– Slam Land, the surreal competitive party game from Bread
Machine Games where brawling and balling meet in a weird and
wacky pastime, dunks its way onto Nintendo Switch, PlayStation
4, Windows PC, and Mac on August 7, 2018.
Easy to pick up but with depth to match, Slam Land is a
fast-paced, chaotic experience where a bizarre blue giant
enlists a cast of comical competitors to dunk one another into
hoops for his amusement. So, (literally) grab up to four friends
and face off in local multiplayer matches where opponents must
grapple, lunging at and dodging away from each other as they vie
to seize and shoot their adversaries into a variety of bizarre
goals ranging from tree hollows to gaping maws.
Alongside these “Slam” matches, where players race against the
clock to score the most points or outlast each other in stock
contests, Slam Land sports a variety of additional game types to
ensure things always stay fresh. These include the hot
potato-like “Peanut Mode,” where scores become more valuable the
longer players hold on to the peanut. Slam Land also features a
distinctive take on the classic basketball activity
“H.O.R.S.E.,” where lettered NPCs spawn and players shoot them
to fill out the word. And then there’s the wildest mode of all,
“Trash,” which sees garbage rain from the sky that can be
stacked into massive piles and dunked.
Propelled by a percussive, energetic soundtrack and a playful
hand-drawn cartoon art style, Slam Land is a joyful and
energetic experience that will have friends laughing and
screaming no matter which whimsical game type they find
themselves clashing in.
“Slam Land is an intense party game where friends can get
together and drunk each other in our weird mashup of basketball
and fighting game,” says Keith McCullough, creative director,
Bread Machine Games. “We look forward to introducing the world
to this cheeky, surreal world and awesome group of game modes
when we’re ready to release this July.”
Slam Land will retail for $7.99 / €7.99 via the Nintendo eShop,
PlayStation Store, and Steam.
