Retro Game Crunch by developer Rusty Moyher, is set to launch on the 19th May after being greenlit. This is a compilation of seven games, many of which take their design cues from classic Nintendo games. Check out the trailer below and you’ll see inspiration from the likes of Donkey Kong, Megaman, Metroid, Contra and more in the mix of platformers, shooters and adventure games.
Here’s a full list of what’s included, along with some details of co-op modes taken from the Greenlight page:
- Super Clew Land – Eat, evolve, and explore in this happy-go-lucky exploration-based platformer.
- End of Line – A game about learning how to die. Figure out how to thwart autonomous repair bots in this puzzle adventure.
- GAIAttack – Gaia has summoned four champions to rise up and destroy the pillaging Sky Pirates. A beat ’em up platformer for up to four players.
- Paradox Lost – Abby crashes her plane, but stumbles upon a gun that shoots time travel! A metroidvania across three time periods.
- Wub-Wub Wescue – A pug must brave the jungle and navigate its treacherous rhythms, all to rescue his master. An early 80’s arcade platformer.
- Brains & Hearts – A two player card game that takes place inside Albert Einstein’s dream. Play against the CPU or a friend.
- Shūten – A samurai shoot ’em up for one or two players. Owari’s village is trampled as ancient gods awaken. He takes up sword to end them.
It looks like there should be plenty of crazy fun to be had here, and since you get seven games for your money, $14.99 seems pretty reasonable.
