Our take on Retro Revengers
The pitch gives substantial attention to its music, references and retro-game premise. The gameplay is presented more generally, naming changing stages, character powers, enemies and bosses without specifying the number or structure of those encounters.
What is Retro Revengers?
Retro Revengers is a platforming adventure set in a strange land threatening the characters’ games and world.
Five companions—Ossan, Mao, Taicho, Matchan and Notchi—travel through varied environments, fight enemies and face bosses on the way to the Demon Overlord of Triple-A. Each character has different powers, and players can change between them to navigate stage mechanics and find routes through each level. The game uses 8-bit pixel art and retro music, including compositions by Manami Matsumae. Its narrative includes references and easter eggs, while stage structures and mechanics change as the journey progresses. The story follows the group after they are transported from Ludens Castle into this unfamiliar setting.
