Sword of the Apocalypse, The Gameboy Color Platformer, Launches Kickstarter!

Are you seeking a post-apocalyptic, retro game made in the style of the old Gameboy Color? Then this Kickstarter for an upcoming game, Sword of the Apocalypse, is right up your alley!

Created by the mind of James Couch and Gunsavior Games, Sword of the Apocalypse wants to bring you back to the Gameboy era. Everything, from the resolution, to the art style is all done to emulate the feel of a Gameboy game. This creates a charming aesthetic, bring memories of games like Metroid 2 and Shantae.

The story puts you in a post-apocalyptic world, with humanity recovering from a near extinction event. However, after almost 1000 years, humanity is finally starting to recover. Unfortunately, a dangerous cult wants to do what nearly happened nearly a millennium ago, and end the human race.

To protect and fight for the human race, you have an option between two characters with distinct play styles and abilities. You can play as either the sword-wielding Kaze, or the gunslinging Forge. Both have their own unique abilities and ways of attacking, with the story changing depending on who you play as in each level.
