Description
Experience the ultimate LCD action on Nintendo Switch™!
Future Knight is a 2D action Shoot 'Em Up that fuses the nostalgia of LCD screens with the brutality of modern combat. Imagine your old handheld console coming to life, but with a bizarre story, frantic combat, and a unique visual aesthetic inspired by classic electronic handheld games.
8 HOURS TO THE END OF THE WORLD
It is May 23, 1993. The Lady of the Past, leader of the pyramid cult "Present", has just washed her underwear and, in the process, erased the brains of all humanity. Only you, a robot built over 30 years from the remains of a 90s soap opera actor, can stop her. But you are not alone. You have Two More, a benign tumor, inexplicably powerful and with a life of its own that lives inside you.
Your mission is to travel to the past, exactly 8 hours before the apocalypse. Each level (Biome) represents an hour in this lady's schedule before she erases our memories. You will have to sabotage her day: from her walk in the park to her meal at an all-you-can-eat buffet... The clock is ticking, Future Knight. Can you save the future before it becomes the past?
THE DEADLY DANCE: SWITCH AND DESTROY
The key to Future Knight is Synergy. "Alone you go fast, together you go further".
- Future Knight (The Muscle): Fire your quantum plasma Techno Blaster, deliver lethal bites, roll to dodge, and unleash chaos with heavy weaponry.
- Two More (The Agility): Expel your partner! Use him to perform lethal Super Dashes, climb walls with his natural viscosity, shoot at close range, and squeeze into tight spaces.
- Choreography of Violence: Switch between both characters instantly. Recover Future Knight's health using Two More and recharge Two More's energy using Future Knight. Create a deadly dance to annihilate your enemies with style.
BIZARRE "NEO-RETRO" AESTHETIC
The game takes place inside the technology of a calculator and a liquid crystal display. We have created an unsettling aesthetic that mixes the adorable with the grotesque, inspired by the works of Satoshi Kon and Japanese bizarrism. All you see are ink stains moving... but we assure you you have never seen ink move like this.
KEY FEATURES
