The Order: 1886 developer Ready at Dawn's upcoming physics-based multiplayer arena brawler De-formers is a big departure from the studio's steampunk flagship title. A multiplatform (PS4, Xbox One and PC) offering published as part of GameStop's recently announced GameTrust initiative, De-formers, is a mix of lots of elements from beloved games cobbled together into something that looks familiar, yet strangely hard to pin down.
