Cute, quirky co-op platform adventure Chariot hits PS4 today

Launch day video offers expert tips on how to survive Frima Studio’s latest

Greetings, PlayStation community! We’re thrilled to be releasing Chariot in Europe today! PlayStation Plus members can rejoice as our co-op platformer game will be 30% OFF for them for the first two weeks.

For those of you who have never heard of Chariot, here’s a short summary: Chariot is a physics-based platformer game in which two players have to work together to get the titular vehicle to the end of each level. To do so, the two characters are equipped with a rope they can use to pull and swing the Chariot.

We started off with the idea to create a game in which teamwork would be central to the gameplay. I think we succeeded pretty well, based on the comments we’ve received since our North American release. We can’t wait to read what you guys think of the game!

Even though we put a lot of emphasis on Chariot’s co-op goodness, rest assured that there’s plenty of fun to go around in single-player. Playing as the princess, you’ll have the same 25 vast levels to explore, the same challenging obstacles to overcome, and the same cumbersome chariot to drag around. As you can probably imagine, some of the harder physics-based challenges will be a lot harder with only one character doing all the work, but we think that this is where the game’s challenge and fun reach their pinnacle.

When playing solo, the gadgets become an essential part of the strategy. Before entering a level, you get to choose one of the six different gadgets to bring on your journey. Each gadget affects the chariot, the players or the environment in a different way. For example, the Peg allows you to pin the chariot’s rope to an anchor point to prevent it from rolling away, while the Repulsor pushes the chariot away from your character, giving it momentum.

Each gadget can be upgraded using the loot collected in the levels. In co-op mode, each player can equip one gadget. However, they cannot equip the same one. This way, they can choose abilities that work well together.

To better showcase the awesome moves you can accomplish with or without the gadgets in Chariot, we named a few of them and created this short “Chariot Advanced Moves” video.

Thanks for reading and watching, everyone!

If you have any additional question about the game, just visit our Facebook page and official website or ask away in the comments section. We’ll be reading every single comment and answering them to the best of our ability.

If you’re interested in seeing more of Chariot, we will be streaming some in co-op on our Twitch channel this evening at 6 PM GMT. Come say hi and watch us fail or succeed at teamwork!

For those who will be joining us on this crazy ride, we wish you happy exploration!
