Catness is in luck, because they just announced their new video game. It is Chronicles of 2 heroes, an action platformer with 16-bit aesthetics and metroidvania touches by Infinity Experience. Set in feudal Japan, it stands out because it allows you to switch between the two protagonists in real time. Neither its cheeky pixel-art nor its far-behind soundtrack, in which the composer will participate The messenger Yes sea of stars, Eric W. Brown. The latter is still a bitwork in progress“, but facing the demo of the next Steam Next Fest in February we will have juicy news.
Chronicles of 2 heroes stands out with a very special mechanic: switch between the protagonists in real time! They each have distinct fighting styles and unique abilities that you can combine at will. And you will have to if you want to save feudal Japan from the tyranny of the Empress. Imiko.
many centuries ago Amaterasu’s anger plunged Japan into an era of wars, famines and epidemics. His disciple, Empress Imiko, imposed terror with an iron fist and a mighty army. All hope for peace lay in two twins: Kensei el samurai and Ayame the kunoichi. Together, they must reach the imperial capital of Osaka to steal the Empress’ source of power: the Three Sacred Treasures. Getting it won’t be easy, as they’ll have to defeat yokai, ronin, and even Amaterasu herself.
Chronicles of 2 heroes promises old-fashioned action, up to 30 skills to unlock and between 8 and 12 hours. The game is coming very soon on Kickstarter and there is already a playable demo on itch.io and To smoke.
