Warstride Challenges Is What Happens When You Put Doom, Trackmania and Super Meat Boy in a Blender | Gaming – Buy Aussie News

Hi everyone! I’m Ludwig Dresh, Co-creator at Dream Powered Games, the small studio behind the frenetic first-person shooter Warstride Challenges. I want to introduce you to our unique shooter and explain how we brought it to life.

It needed to be fast, brutal, rewarding and allow you to enjoy short gameplay sessions.

Warstride Challenges is very much the lovechild of these three titles!

We are a small team of five, who met years ago at university or more recently online. We are also lucky to count a few extra friends who provide precious help on specific aspects such as animations, characters, concept art, music… Of course, we don’t all share the exact same taste, but being a small number of people driven by a common passion makes…
