steamdolls

A team of Franco-Belgian developers who call themselves The Shady Gentlemen are currently working on SteamDolls, a gritty 2D Metroidvania title for consoles and PC. The Kickstarter for the game was launched this week, and has already surpassed its initial goal. You play as The Whisper: an expert assassin in a grimy, corrupt steampunk city. You know you’re cool because you’ve got the voice of David Hayter, AKA the original Solid Snake (Hayter is not in enough games…remember when Konami replaced him with Keifer Sutherland? That was lame…) Upgrade your skills through the course of the game and tailor The Whisper to your playing style…a stealthy sneak or a directly confrontational brute. Take down immense, grotesque-looking bosses and get to the center of a vast conspiracy. You’ll mostly be going alone, as is the Metroidvania tradition, but you will have remote help from your girlfriend Valentina, who happens to be a powerful witch.  2D brutal fast paced metroidvania in a steampunk universe.  Gruesome stealth kills.  A sprawling city to explore
