Dark Blue Games has released a brand new trailer for its upcoming game Infected Shelter as part of last week's EGX 2018 celebrations.

If you're out of the loop with this one, Infected Shelter has been billed as a cross between Dead Cells and 2D beat 'em up title Castle Crashers, mixing rogue-lite gameplay with co-op multiplayer insanity. You play as a member of a surviving group in a post-apocalyptic world, but on one fateful morning, you awake to find the shelter is raided and your people are kidnapped for reasons unknown. Leaving your shelter, you emerge into the harsh infected land and start looking for the kidnappers and the truth behind the events.
