Hello and welcome from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeerHD and today I want to show
you most interesting upcoming Pixel Art games.
I have done my research really well, I checked more than 70 titles, upcoming in Steam, Kickstarter
and in other platforms and from that list I picked 7 games with most amazing original
art style, story and music.
Narita Boy
Retro futuristic game where you are Narita boy, a legendary digital hero in an epic quest
of simultaneous dimensions.
The digital kingdom is under the attack and you are called as their last hope of survival.
Here you have to explore vast world to find the techno sword, the only effective weapon
against the threat.
That sounds nuts and also really cool.
I can’t wait to play the game.
Music is also fantastic, they made really good job with that.
Blasphemous
If you are a fan of Pixel Art games, you probably have heard about Blasphemous already.
Amazing dark art style, grim environments and creepy creatures reminds me of a Dark
Souls, just in a 2D setting.
Developers are promising non linear levels, voiced NPC’s and special boss creature that
has global persistent difficulty and gets a little bit tougher each time a player gets
to kill it.
Nykra
This is, as developers say, an existential narrative-driven sci-fi adventure platformer,
set in the first born galaxy called “Nykra”.
The story embraces many layers of the mind and tackles the hypothetical feeling of having
no purpose.
What is my purpose?
You pass the butter.
The more I looked at the trailer the more I liked games concept.
This is how you create games: you ask difficult questions and then you try to answer them.
Also scenario of this game allegedly holds something unexpected, so this is definitely
one of my favorites.
Eitr
Eitr is an action RPG built around exceptional combat and interesting challenges set within
mythological Norse world.
When I’ve heard the music and saw the dark setting of this game I was immediately impressed.
It’s like seeing a potato salad when you’re hungry – it’s the most beautiful thing
you can dream about.
And now I’m really hungry for games with grim atmosphere, because it’s a rare thing
nowadays, when everyone wants to create and play colorful airy fairy games like Fortnite.
Eitr is the bomb of darkness in the world of gay unicorns.
Inmost
This is an atmospheric, story driven puzzle platformer where in abandoned castle you’ll
need to explore every nook and cranny, avoid detection, slice through enemies and spring
deadly traps to escape the evil that lurks within.
The first thing that catches the eye is an amazing art style and flaring of different
colors.
I like multiple layers in the background and cool animations of the characters.
Inmost is definitely in my radar.
The Last Night
I was amazed by the developers decision to merge pixel art with glaring color effects
– that truly makes my eyes cry from joy, like the day two years ago, when Lidl opened
near my block and on a shelf I saw vodka for 4,99 eur cents.
This game undoubtedly conquers the throne of most beautiful pixel art game.
As the developers say, The Last Night has the soul of a cinematic platformer with the
heart of sci-fi thriller set in post-cyberpunk world with a deep, vibrant vision of the future.
Sadly there is no release date set yet, but we can only hope that developers will give
