Hooded Horse, the publisher behind strategy titles like Against the Storm and Manor Lords, has picked up C-Beams, a single-player spaceship action RPG from Distant Light Games. The game puts players in a top-down 3D map with ship movement governed by Newtonian physics, requiring players to account for inertia during combat and navigation. The setting is a black hole star system in turmoil after a gold rush, where the player starts as a rookie pilot and grows through exploration, trading, mining, and combat. Weapons range from short-range gatling turrets to guided missiles and the namesake C-Beam laser. The studio was co-founded by Charlie Goldberg, who runs the YouTube channel LevelCapGaming with nearly 2 million subscribers. C-Beams will release in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store with Japanese support; a release date has not been announced.
