Coffence Preview

Sweet Bandits Studios are mental. Absolutely Hannibal Lecter “liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti” bonkers. They must be to come up with the pure silly genius that is Coffence.

The concept is simple enough, a combination of twin stick shooter style controls and beat em up where instead of health you have shots of coffee. So far so straightforward I’m sure you’ll agree, but at that point it goes bananas.

Players get to choose between a pirate, a barista, a yuppie and a hipster. The protagonists then get a choice of coffee receptacles with which to beat each other senseless in a variety of locations ranging from pirate ships to offices to space.

Being an Early Access game that is still in development, the A.I of the single player mode is a little simplistic and the online mode is yet to come.
