Dotemu, the developer behind beat-’em-ups like T and , is back with another slice of side-scrolling retro goodness.This time, however, the company’s eschewing a tried-and-true franchise in favor of an original IP.is a fantasy beat-’em-up that’s being co-developed by Guard Crush Games and Supamonk.The game looks to retain the core beat-’em-up mechanics the developer has become known for, but with some flourishes.
Dotemu boasts of "branching paths to explore," which is giving me vibes.The developer has also implemented roguelike mechanics of some kind, with it going so far as to describe the game as a "rogue-‘em-up." We don’t know the details of these mechanics just yet.We do know that will be playable as a solo campaign or in a co-op mode, offering both local and online play.Gamers will be able to choose from four different fantasy-themed characters.
Also, the animation looks pretty dang gorgeous.It’ll be available for Switch, PlayStation and PC later this year.Just because is a brand-new IP, doesn’t mean that Dotemu has given up on reviving classics for modern audiences.The company is also publishing , a game that’s actually set during the events of the NES original.
