Det är den nystartade indie.trion Pixel Arc Studios som precis slungat upp sitt första projekt på Kickstarter och det handlar om ett retromumsigt plattforms-action-spel i samma andra som Ninja Gaiden, Strider samt Contra. Bushiden ser verkligen fullständigt magiskt ut med inspirations i de uppvisade spelmomenten som vi misstänker hämtas från såväl Super Mario World som Shinobi samt Ikaruga (med den banan där elektriska plattformar i olika färger kräver att huvudpersons-ninjan "fasvänder" sin egen elektriska aura) och i slutändan är detta något vi på Gamereactor verkligen vill ska realiseras / nå sitt Kickstarter-mål. Här kan du kika in Kickstarter-sidan för Bushido!

"Your sister has vanished and rumors swirl that Gaoh has been resurrected with an evil army at his command. Explore for cybernetic upgrades until you are powerful enough to defeat the diabolic Gaoh and his cybergentic army once and for all in this futuristic, action platformer!

Bushiden opens with a prologue level that culminates in the battle that took place between Reylee and Gaoh six years prior to the events of the game. Upon completing the prologue, the narrative moves to the present and the player is able to select any one of six available levels to enter. Completing a level by defeating the boss grants Reylee a new ability. Levels can be exited before completion at Save Terminals and they can be revisited, even after completion, to utilize Reylee's upgraded abilities while exploring for secrets. Completing all six of the available levels unlocks the final level, Gaoh's Tower, and puts Reylee on a collision course with the final showdown between him and Gaoh!
Segmenting Bushiden's world into separate levels allows us to offer the player a choice regarding what type of experience they want. The game can be completed without revisiting any levels for those who enjoy a more linear, arcade action experience. Of course, the game also offers many secrets to discover and rewards to be unlocked for those who enjoy a healthy dose of exploration in their games. Our goal is for the game to provide 6-12 hours of entertainment depending on how much exploration the player chooses to do."
