Cross-buy presents a superb amount of value as it means that layers will be purchasing both the PS4 and PS3 versions of the game with just a single purchase. Super Motherload supports cross-buy between the PS4 and PS3, although it unfortunately does not support cross-save, so players will not be able to continue from their previous progression on the PS3 version when playing the PS4 version and vice versa, however as Super Motherload is also remote play players can technically continue on playing the PS4 version anywhere they want to with the same save file during remote play. The character design has a real charm to it as there are mining pods in a variety of colours, while the ten unlockable playable characters each have their own voices and personalities too, alongside environment design which is just as charming as it features procedurally generated rock formations. The in-game shop is incredibly well designed with certain items initially being out of stock to provide an additional reason for players to keep on returning to the store, while the main reason to return is to reinvest the money earned from mining minerals to purchase improvements which make the mining pod more efficient in order to progress further into mining the rock for minerals that are more rare. ![]() The in-game shop provides customisation across four categories for varying prices including upgrades such as a drill bit, fuel tank, cargo size, hull strength, smelter and radar improvements to the drill speed, rotor speed and tread speed bombs to blast out rock which includes TNT, C4, t-bomb, shaft bomb and electron bomb items such as reserve fuel, a repair kit and a teleporter with all of the upgrades and speed other than the drill bit upgrade having multiple levels of improvements gradually increasing in price. Smelting is an important procedure consisting of combining compatible minerals consecutively to create a more valuable mineral, although players must first purchase smelter from the in-game shop in order to make such combinations as goldium and silverium to create white gold however there are six levels of smelter available in which players can refer to a smelter combinations list from the pause menu with certain combinations not quite being possible until a higher level of smelter has been purchased such as the level three smelter to combine electrium ore, amazonium ore and unobtainium to create an aether stone. ![]() The hull of the mining pod can easily be destroyed if players are not careful when managing the speed as it is susceptible to damage if it takes a heavy knock into the rocks during the ascent back to the surface to sell the mined minerals, upgrade or refuel, further descent to mine new depths or a sudden turn of direction with a few heavy knocks resulting in the mining pod exploding. As players dig through the rock they will find that there are different types of minerals to mine including ironium, bronzium, silverium, goldium and others which are each worth their own unique value. ![]() There are four outposts referred to in the game in which players can refuel, sell their cargo of mined minerals, repair the hull and visit the store with the first outpost being at the surface, while the remaining three are Alpha, Beta and Delta which will be located as players continue to dig. The story is written by comic book writer Kurtis Wiebe and includes multiple storylines which branch out based upon the choices of the player and even result in multiple game endings with the story revolving around an alternate Cold War era set on Mars. XGen Studios was established in 2001 in Edmonton, Canada and have since developed and released numerous games for console, mobile and Flash including Defend Your Castle on WiiWare and the Flash game Motherload which is the prequel to Super Motherload. Super Motherload is an action adventure puzzle platform game available for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4 and PS3. Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating: 9.5 out of 10
