An all new, hilarious romp of a single player action game and a genre bending, asymmetric team multiplayer game in the spirit of MDK and Giants. The game is all about The Cargonauts and Monstro traversing, battling over and exploring an island filled environment. The Cargonauts are a race of technologically advanced humanoids who use jetpacks, similar to the Mechs from Giants, while Monstro is a massive being who wields a tree-trunk club. The game is created by Nick Bruty (Giants: Citizen Kabuto and MDK), Richard Sun (Republic Commando and Escape from Monkey Island), and the rest of Rogue Rocket Games. There is no release date yet, or specific platforms announced, but a crowd-funding campaign is planned for August or September and that will likely determine much of that.

Greetings everyone! We are thrilled to announce that First Wonder is now on Kickstarter! This is our spiritual successor to the classic games MDK and Giants: Citizen Kabuto that features open exploration focused environments, dynamic gameplay with several races, and a comedic story in the same vein as Giants. The game will be on PC for certain (DRM-free on GoG and Steam), with console versions as stretch goals.

First Wonder blends third-person shooter elements with aerial acrobatics in a fantastical and vast world ripe for exploration. Monstro has formidable abilities that allow him to leap over obstacles, charge at opponents and exploit the environment to unexpectedly traverse vast areas.

The Cargonauts take to the skies using their rocket technology in an attempt at matching Monstro’s natural gifts. To find and capture the terrifying beast, the Cargonauts must use their wits and a variety of tools and inventive traps that they selectively equip from their mobile gear depot, the Big Rig.

Over the course of the campaign, players will alternatively take the reigns of Monstro and the ragtag team of Cargonauts as they scramble to put a stop to him and his path of destruction. The living, breathing chain of Majorcan Islands - a "character" in its own right - offers a dynamic world with unique inhabitants and natural resources awaiting player interaction. Many secrets lay hidden within First Wonder, as tiered plateaus, surreal geological features, and surprising environmental effects create a rich and unpredictable alien world.

Like the single player campaign, multiplayer will focus on goal based play rather than head to head shootin' and smashin' (though you can try to do that too!). A player will guide Monstro through a series of island goals, while a team of players as the Cargonauts work together to stop him.

On top of doing a First Wonder Kickstarter, which has a lot more information on it, we are also bringing the game to Steam Greenlight today. Please come on over to our First Wonder Steam Greenlight page to help support us and to help First Wonder get the exposure it deserves. Thank you all for your support and let us know if you have any questions.
