SolitaryStudios has released Maiba Taya in early access on Steam for PC, priced at 655 yen with a 10 percent discount through October 16. The 3 to 5 player co-op survival PvP game draws on Filipino street games of the 1990s, with some modes supporting up to 12 players. Tagalog voice acting, cosmetic items, in-game currency, leveling, and a host migration feature are included.
The early access build ships with 3 to 5 player co-op PvP and modes that go up to 12 players, plus unlockable cosmetics, an in-game currency system, a level-up system, a player status system, in-game chat, and host migration. Tagalog voice work is included, and the store page lists a stable multiplayer network as a feature.
SolitaryStudios frames the project around 1990s Filipino children's games, the after-school kind played outdoors until sundown. The developers plan to keep adding player customization items, a progression system, story content, upgrades, weapons, maps, enemies, and further gameplay content during the early access period.
