Nunchaku Games studio began the Kickstarter campaign for Moon Samurai, a hand-drawn martial arts action-adventure. With 29 more days to go, the developers are seeking to raise a total of $75k. Meanwhile,130 backers have already pledged over $5k. The game is planned for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
The developers describe Moon Samurai as a game inspired by classic action movies and the games of the 80-90s. Players will take on the role of a young warrior on a mission to defeat a corrupted government in the dangerous cyberpunk lunar city. All characters, animations and environments are hand-drawn in pixel-art style.
Moon Samurai – Key Features Include:
- The breathtaking pixel-art world of the lunar city RAM City. Each level is filled with amazing details, NPCs and secrets to find. This is the kind of lived-in pixel world you’ll want to explore again and again!
- Over thirty different combat mechanics. Prefer fair hand-to-hand combat? Or ready to take up weapons? The choice is yours! Our main goal is to make the fights as satisfying and exciting as possible. The main character already has at least 5 variants of dodges and blocks and we’re adding more and more!
- Take a breather from the hurricane-paced battles to explore RAM City (and beyond) via realistic climbing, parkour and puzzle-solving to unlock new locations.
- Try everything! The environments provide endless opportunities for interaction. Take a pool cue and crack your enemy over the head. Or throw a bottle at him. Or kick a chair at him, like in the best Hong Kong action movies. We have many surprises in store for your enemies!
