Zombies! Angels! Gun-Wielding Obamas Oh My!
Development ofAban Hawkins and the 1001Spikes is over, which appears to have put Nicalis into full throttle publicizing mode. That’s great news, as I’ll take any excuse I can get to talk about good old Aban and company. This game does four-player 2D platforming co-op better than just about anyone else. It’s likeNew Super Mario Bros Ubut with tons of different playable characters each with their own distinct strengths and weaknesses, orSmash Bros. BrawlSubspace Emissary mode but with amazing level design and pixel-perfect precision platforming.
It’s also similar toSmash Bros.in crossover arena, as the game offers a large cast of characters hailing from a variety of sources. Here we get a quick look at Aban’s sister Tina, Thompson, Sugimoto, and Zombie fromTempura of the Dead, Commander Video from theBit.Tripseries, Nyx fromNyx’s Quest, Curly Brace fromCave Story, and the newly announced Juni fromKnytt Stories.That’s just the start of the surprises, folks.
Each of these characters is playable in single-player campaign (featuring their own character-specific cut scenes), multiplayer campaign, a bonus multiplayer campaign, and Vs. multiplayer. This was a game that was designed to be played with friends for months on end, if not years. In fact, I’ll it may take that long for most of you to unlock all of the games content.It’s the whopper, alright?
