Serellan is a relatively new game studio that was established in 2011. Their development team has experience working on games like GRAW and Halo Reach. Serellen specializes in tactical shooters and their first project, Takedown was successfully Kickstarted in 2012. Unfortunately, it was very poorly received due to dumb and inconstant AI.

I had great hopes for this one...
