An evil force is creating living, evil trees and other weird mutants, and the crosssbow-wielding fox hero of Fox N Forests is having none of it. Mind you, the crossbow is a handy tool for stomping out the sinister larch, but even more useful is the fox’s ability to change the season, which changes the whole level along with it.
The fox can flip any given stage between two different seasons, which has effects on what secrets you can find and how you can progress. River blocking your path? Freeze it over with a little winter’s chill. Want a plant to grow? A little Summer sun can work wonders. Changing seasons has all sorts of effects for the fox, and hides several secrets throughout the game.
Set within a mystic forest and its surroundings, Fox n Forests is a stunning fable offering pixel perfect Retrotainment and rewarding challenges. The game is inspired by the glorious days of 16-Bit and all time classics like Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts, Wonder Boy in Monster World and ActRaiser 2 as well as the Castlevania and Zelda series. The game has already been greenlit on Steam and is currently in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign.
You play as Rick the Fox and your weapon is a magic melee crossbow that can not only be used for ranged and close up combat, but empowers you to seamlessly switch between 2 seasons per level, completely changing the whole environment and resulting in amazing secrets, tricky skill tests and thriving exploration. Pixel perfect platforming, screen filling bosses, rich bonus levels, powerful potions, bags of loot, stuffed shops, clever backtracking, challenging skill tests, a magic melee crossbow to shoot and slash enemies, upgradeable shots, not 4 but 5 seasons to explore, stunning 16-Bit pixel art, a catchy chip tunes soundtrack and tons of humorous retro charm combined with the luxuries of modern game design will make Fox n Forests a worthy revival of games from the Golden Age.
