Harmonix return with shoot 'em up A City Sleeps

Bullet-hell shooter heading for Steam.

Rock Band creator Harmonix have revealed their new title, a side-scrolling, twin-stick shooter by the name of A City Sleeps, which is due for release on Steam.

You play as Poe, a warrior who has both long and short range abilities for tackling waves of enemy attackers, shooting from afar by selecting one of three ghost familiars that are her constant companions for different attacks, or swinging her sword when up close. Successful strikes with the latter will build her special attack meter, which when full will allow you to detonate a screen-wide attack.

It's due out on Steam on October 16th - find out more on its official Steam page.
