Hover: Revolt of Gamers is a futuristic parkour game developed by a small indie studio based in France that goes by the name of Fusty Game, allowing players to roam freely across the urban landscapes of the brightly colored future in both first- and third-person view.

The company has published a trailer showing actual gameplay from an alpha version of the game, illustrating a movement system that affords players ample freedom and has the potential for a great multiplayer experience, with huge jumps off walls and plenty of rail grinding.

Players will don a special high-tech suit that will offer them the ability to move around and leave neon trails in their wake, exploring the open world city and impressing everyone with crazy tricks, aiming to recruit an skillful team and enroll in more serious missions that will overthrow the tyranny that plagues the city.

Gamers will have to locate and infiltrate control centers of the anti-video games propaganda ministry, free the citizens that have been confined by the authorities and get back the consoles confiscated from the population, and eventually overthrow the Mayor, who lies at the origin of the whole story.

While trying to achieve all that, users will have to be alert and stay on their toes, as the city streets are patrolled by many security drones, and players will have to learn the skills necessary to ditch them once detected.

Each Gamer recruited in a player's team will be playable in-game and the experience gained while playing will be used to upgrade various stats. Users will be able to switch to multiplayer simply by connecting to a server, either to cooperate with fellow players in missions of challenge them in fully configurable events, like race tracks created in real time.

The game is built with Oculus Rift support in mind, aiming to deliver an outstanding immersion and completely new gameplay sensations, offering a quick start with a minimum of button, rather than complex control schemes, and will be playable by either keyboard/mouse or gamepad.

Players interested in finding out more about the game can head to the Hover: Revolt of Gamers Facebook page, where the devs are regularly posting updates.

Hover: Revolt of Gamers has been recently Greenlit by the Steam community, securing worldwide digital distribution for the game once it is completed. Fusty Game and Midgar Studio also plan to start a Kickstarter campaign for Hover: Revolt of Gamers, which will be unveiled soon.
