Indie developer Reakktor Studios announces TOXIKK is now available on Steam via early access, allowing admission to the beta for their upcoming arena first-person shooter. An early access teaser trailer offers a look at the game, and the game's forums contain a roadmap for the game's trip through early access, showing plans to launch version 1.0 in May. Here's the rundown on what to expect from the game:

Inspired by the big shooters from the late 90s and early 2ks, the sci-fi/near-future themed game plays as if today's military shooters never existed: There is no leveling, no regenerating health, no perks, no cover systems, no classes, no configurable weapons and no iron sight aiming.

Instead you get fast and precise movement (with deeply configurable mouse controls), double jumps, dodge jumps, booster pick-ups, nine iconic weapons to be carried around simultaneously, secondary fire modes for every weapon, vehicular game modes, jump pads, health-packs, lots of vertical gameplay, optional mutators (incl. instagib) and everything else that made these kind of games so addictive. The game also features a configurable Bot-Mode to let you train your skills offline.
