As the month dedicated to ghouls and goblins and human slashers, October might not be the best month to release a Wild West revenge tale featuring anthropomorphic coyote warriors. But, hear me out.Laika: Aged Through Bloodis a self-described “motorvania” where our “mother coyote reloads her guns doing backflips” on a sick motorcycle. Now that’s something I’d play whatever the weather.

Laika: Aged Through Blood seems to be mashingMy Friend Pedro’s bullet violence and Trials’ motorcycle-spinning physics into a Metroidvania formula. The way our bike gracefully flips and dances through the air is really satisfying, especially when the short clips show how you can block incoming damage using your tires. I can imagine (or hope) there’s a nice rhythm that comes from launching off ramps, contorting away from bullets, and dishing out your own. Oh, and you can also jump while on the bike, I should mention, so you’re not entirely dependant on the terrain.

Laika: Aged Through Blood arriveson Steamon October 19th - too far away, in my opinion. There’s thankfully a free demo available to tide us over, also on Steam.
The game comes from developer Brainwash Gang, who most recently put outFriends vs Friends, the deck-building shooter that featured a delightful character select screen. That game received rave user reviews on Steam, at least, so I’ll glue my eyes to whatever they put out next.
