Shadow of the Beast is Sony Interactive Entertainment and Heavy Spectrum‘s re-imagining of the 1989 side-scrolling classic of the same name, originally released for the Amiga. Notorious for both its difficulty and action, as well as its impressive graphics for the time period, Shadow of the Beast promises to give new players that same experience that inspired many fans of the original. Of course with this being a remake art style, music, and gameplay have all undergone large changes, with the goal of retaining the overall feel of the original.

“We’re trying our best to make sure that the combat in particular has layers to discover and that truly mastering the game is going to be something players can enjoy doing as they uncover the secrets of Aarbron’s world.” says Matt Birch, from Heavy Spectrum.

Without pity; without mercy. Take control of the beast known as Aarbron and unleash an unstoppable tide of brutality on all who stand between you and your vengeance. Players will tear their way through entire armies, exploring ancient lands in search of the evil mage Maletoth. The fighting mechanics will greatly reward timing and precision — which not only ends up being fun to play but also looks amazing when the animations are chained together.

The gameplay mechanics will allow players to draw strength from slaughter, as you spill the blood of armed regiments and monstrous hordes alike to fuel your frenzy and unlock brutal new attacks and takedowns that will have you chasing the highest score.

Be ready for this release on May 17, 2016.

Why you should back the Back in Time Brighton ’15 kickstarter

Retro computer music seem to be taking over more and more recently. But this is not new, many people have been rockin’ to 8 bit music since the eighties.

A particular case, is with SID music, that coming from the legendary Commodore 64 computer.

Many of the original composers of great C64 tunes like the ones found on games like The Last Ninja 1 and 2, Batman The Caped Crusader or Gianna Sisters, are still active today, with many projects going on.

One of such projects is this great live concert, called “Back in Time Brighton ’15 – Live stage show of C64 Music“.

Many of us loved those C64 tunes, so hearing them live in a concert is a dream come true.

And well, this is the chance to back up a great idea, this live concert will take place in Europe, but there are many extras you can enjoy, even if you can’t travel there.

The event will take place on:

Date: Saturday 20th June 2015, Doors open at 5pm.
Venue: St George’s Church, Kemptown, Brighton.

One tier includes a t-shirt of the event, and full video of it, direct from the feed of the professional cameras on site, not recorded with a mobile phone from the audience. And also, Chris Abbot, C64 music legend and owner of the C64Audio.com shop, will give you a random digital album with your pledge, even if the kickstarter is not funded.

So, you should support this great event before it’s too late. The kickstarter is on it’s last days, so there is still time.
