Today publisher Ziggurat Interactive and developer Poppy Works announced a spooky hack and slash-biopunk sidescroller, Slave Zero X.
Slave Zero was originally released back in 1999. The new title is going to be a prequel to the original and is based on the concept drawings from the previous game.
According to Ziggurat, “the original vision for Slave Zero couldn’t come to fruition due to budget and development time,” but the original vision is being brought to life.
Slave Zero X will contain “2D side-scrolling action where players string together brutal combos while traversing a dangerous 2.5D world.” Players will suit up in a death-dealing biosuit to take down the evil forces of SovKhan. Numerous modes are planned.
Basically, you are Yoshimitsu, tearing through enemies with your katana and special abilities. If you are looking for a cool game to hop onto when you have time to kill, this one’s for you.
Here’s a rundown of features that you can expect:
- Side-Scrolling Hack and Slash: Chain together lethal attack combos with your sword and an array of explosive ordinance while leaping, sprinting, and flipping your way through a grim biopunk world
- Stunning Set Pieces: Conquer mini-bosses and climactic archvillians in unforgettable combat sequences
- Action-Packed Heroic Missions: Battle your way through massive levels, mazes, and boss-rushes in a dynamic 2.5D world
- Epic and Dynamic Ambiance: Immerse yourself in a world of heavy Drum ‘n Bass and industrial tracks that get more intense as the action heats up
The release date is yet to be announced.
