Product Details

From renowned developer studio WayForward Technologies, Inc. (Shantae, River City Girls, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp) comes Yars Rising, the 2D action-adventure interpretation of one of the most extensive and well-known Atari classic titles.

In the skilled hands of WayForward, the Yars range evolves into an extended puzzle adventure to be solved with 2D platform action. Slip into the role of young hacker Emi Kimura, who is hired by a mysterious customer to infiltrate the shady QoTech group. Race, jump, sneak and hack through challenges as you gradually uncover a complex web of mysteries and intrigue.

Over the course of her adventure, Emi's powers grow, allowing her to return to previously unattainable and secret areas. Their evolving hacking skills are essential in solving exciting mini-games reminiscent of the innovative game system of the Atari 2600 title Yars' Revenge.

The further Emi penetrates into QoTech facilities, the further the sci-fi mystery expands. A colorful group of hacker friends help Emi uncover her connection with a distant alien genus and develop forces she would never have dared to dream of.

Yars Rising celebrates the Yars range in their very own WayForward style of anime art, humor, retro game mechanics and virtuoso narrative art.

Features:

- 2D platform action: Emi must jump, shoot and sneak to escape hordes of robots and enemy aliens. Her slumbering skills reveal themselves as the game progresses and help her achieve crazy improvements and biohacks that allow her to enter previously unreachable areas. An extensive, networked map provides hours of exploration.

- Sci-Fi intrigue: An endless web of puzzles takes Emi into drab office buildings, hidden underground secret labs, and even the most remote corners of space as she uncovers the sinister truth of the QoTech corporation and discovers her own connection to an alien genre.

- Exciting retro mini-games: A range of hacker mini-games paying homage to the original title of Yars' Revenge, which fans love for the sophisticated bird's eye view game system where you had to switch quickly.

- Creep level: Emi can't always shoot or jump out of a precarious situation – in some levels, she has to sneak and hide in the shadow from the merciless security personnel.

- Classic WayForward aesthetics: With fantastically rendered 3D environment and a range of adorable characters, the WayForward team brings Emi's story to life as only they can.

- Play the original: Discover the first title in the Yars series by playing WayForward's modern version of Yars' Revenge, selectable directly from the main menu.
