Snezhinka, the side-scrolling survival shooter developed by indie developer hinyari9 and published by PLAYISM, trains its iron sights at a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch launch on Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025, as revealed during today’s PLAYISM Game Show Mini. Catch the replay of the PLAYISM Game Show Mini on YouTube where Japan’s oldest indie publisher showcased the latest additions to their games catalog.
Snezhinka’s sister has been drafted into the frontlines of a neverending conflict of man versus machines. The only way to bring her home to safety is to enlist, climb through the ranks of private military contractor Blue Peacock Co., and protect her on the frontlines.
In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes. Maximize firepower and purchasing power in this easy-to-learn, hard-to-master defensive skirmish against ever-encroaching enemies. Every battle yields an earnest salary, yet each day a new government program takes a piece of Snezhinka’s paycheck. Manage meager funds during days-long battles to purchase new weapons, upgrades, and battle companions.
Master the battlefield by adjusting for each firearm’s rate of fire, recoil, and damage level. Pepper incoming foes with balanced assault rifles to stun approaching enemies, spray and pray with miniguns’ nearly never-ending barrages of bullets, or opt for armor-piercing sniper rifles to penetrate multiple mechs at once.
Spend leftover funds to level up Snezhinka’s base stats, with upgrades available for damage, magazine capacity, knockback, firing rate, reload speed, and cooldown reduction. Deploy defensive barricades to hold back the mechanic hordes, and equip gadgets like grenades and turrets for additional firepower.
Hire coworkers onto the battlefield to provide combat support amidst the maelstrom of bullets. Battle through battalions in an immersive story mode, or compete for high scores in two challenge modes, complete with online rankings.
“Snezhinka builds upon Marfusha: Sentinel Girls’ winning gameplay formula,” said indie game developer, hinyari9. “Fans of the series can look forward to an enhanced experience, and newcomers will enjoy a surprisingly deep side-scrolling shooter.”
Snezhinka is currently available on Steam PC for $7.99 and will become available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on February 13, 2025, for $11.99 with a 10% off launch sale on the Nintendo Switch that runs until Feb 26.
