One of Catalyst Black's unique highlights is the ability to transform. In addition to your weapons and abilities, you can also equip a mask that allows you to temporarily transform your character into a mighty primal god. The drop-in, drop-out design will allow players to get into the action faster, without waiting to join a team or for long periods of play. Players can directly join a friends game just by tapping on their name, while individual players can also join in-progress matches.
Built on the EVIL engine, Super Evil Megacorp was able to introduce a completely new ambient authoring system and technologies that allowed the team to create beautiful maps, with pre-rendered ambient lighting that blends in with the dynamic lighting. The result creates a unique graphical look, hyper-responsive gunplay and minimal lag. The team also took a new approach to backend services to provide players with a more reliable and performing experience, optimizing performance for faster downloads and creating the lowest possible memory usage.
