Gekido Kintaro's Revenge PlayStation 4 Release Date Announced
Released earlier this year on the Switch, the classic side-scrolling beat 'em up Gekido Kintaro's Revenge is now heading to the PS4!
In the press release, the developers said that "we didn't want to make just an “emulated version” or a “straight porting” as too many others out there, despite many difficulties, we wanted to take the original game code and bring it back to life with as many improvements we could with its original assets. So we were able to bring 2 player co-op play opportunity in the original story, we were able to allow different resolution modes to play and explore both the original levels and the new ones."
New soundtracks, new cutscenes, 2 completely new game modes have been added, along with a lot of video/audio options and original against new assets options to customize your experience, fully configurable and fully supported controllers.
The two new modes, also found in the Switch version, include:
- A survival mode where 1 or 2 players can proceed through a wide variety of completely new levels just wildly punching and kicking to survive hordes of enemies and tough bosses.
- A rogue-like relic hunter mode where again 1 or 2 players can cooperatively explore procedurally generated dungeons to find ancient relics and collect them. Not an easy task, and every play will be a totally new quest.
The devs further added that "Gekido Kintaro's Revenge is mainly our tribute to Gekido series fans, with the deep wish to be the new starting spark for the series to get back fully renewed."
Gekido Kintaro's Revenge releases on PlayStation 4 in Europe and USA on May 31, 2018. It will also be compatible with PlayStation 4 Pro.
