Because you can’t keep a (relatively) good man down, Panzer, the hero of his self-titled line of indie NES games, is back once again. But this time, he’s somehow humble enough to share the spotlight with others: in Panzer 3, you’ve got the full team.
Panzer is still trying to impress the World Council, and decides to take his crew on ten different quests across that many levels, each with a formidable boss at the end. You can choose to tackle these levels as any three members of Panzer’s eight-member team and switch between them at will. Pick from the skilled Hunter Kankaro, the formidable Ice Mage Ahzriaz, the Crazed Troll Vespeto, and many others. Perhaps even Panzer himself if you’re desperate. They’ll grow more powerful as you play and unlock special abilities for each character.
Panzer 3 is a large upgrade from Panzer 2, containing a wider variety of gameplay in its stages and the ability to tackle them in any order you want thanks to a Mega Man-inspired menu screen. Trust me, a lot of work went into it — I was there. (Full disclosure, my own video game character Allison of Astra makes a cameo in this game in a hidden area; however neither I nor she are receiving a dime from this campaign.)
The cheapest way to get Panzer 3 is the digital version at $11 American ($15 Canadian). A complete box set costs $62 American, but today and today only you can pledge to the Early Bird tier and get the same product for $55. A Collector’s Edition with crazy extras like a custom NES controller and a miniature of the character “D. Muscles” costs $145.
Check out the Panzer 3 Kickstarter here. Play the demo by going here to download or here for an in-browser version. The campaign will run until August 31!
