The Drop: New PlayStation Games for 8/15/2017

Matterfall launches on PS4 alongside the instant classic Undertale.

The veteran developers at Housemarque are no strangers to arcade action. Following in the footsteps of Super Stardust HD, Dead Nation, Resogun, and Nex Machina, Matterfall takes the stage as the next explosive twin-stick shooter to arrive on PlayStation.

Fusing classic 2D platforming with dizzying bullet hell mechanics, Matterfall will push players to the limit. Avoid a sea of lethal Red Matter while harnessing Blue Matter to turn the environment into an ally. Experiment with a variety of weapons and abilities to best master the moment-to-moment action, and hunt for the top of the leaderboards.
