EMPULSE is the new movement shooter from 1047 Games, the team behind Splitgate 2 (aka Splitgate: Arena Reloaded). The game is a premium title, priced at $20, but it hosted a free week during Steam Next Fest.
While EMPULSE is positioned as a movement shooter rather than an arena shooter, like Splitgate, at their core, the games feel almost too similar. After playing EMPULSE throughout the open week, the game felt like Splitgate, but with a few gimmicks and a different aesthetic.
