A MODERN ACTION PLATFORMER
Rebel Core: Awakens is a fast paced action platformer inspired by classic jump-n-shoot games of the 16-bit era. Face off against the 8 Core Robotics in each of their own unique domains in any order you choose.
3-Way Combat System
A 3-way “Rock-Paper-Scissors” combat mechanic ensures moment-to-moment decision making as you engage each enemy with the ideal attack (or defense!) strategy.
CLASSIC JUMP-AND-SHOOT PLATFORMING
Tight, responsive platforming and shooting gameplay reminiscent of the 16-bit era comes to life in a modern, fully-3d side-scrolling display.
8 Core Robotics, 8 Domains
Fight through each of the 8 Core Robotics that rule over their own slice of the post-humanity world in any order to gain access to The Citadel, home of the The Council, the five Origin Cores that rule over all robot-kind.
LEVEL ORDER MATTERS
Experiment with which levels and bosses you’ll beat first as defeating one may have a ripple effect that can change anything from minor to major elements of other levels.
HIDDEN UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS
Gain powerful upgrades and abilities hidden throughout the levels and from defeating bosses, discover their strengths and weaknesses, and wield them to your advantage!
SYNTH METAL OST
What is a classic platformer without a killer sound track? An homage to the 16 and 32-bit era, this synth metal OST trades midi for electric guitars and synthesizers, matching the action in a synthesis of retro and modern video game music.
A ROBOT RULED DYSTOPIA
In a world conquered by machines a lonely hero wakes to find themself in a long-abandoned, makeshift laboratory. The sole machine to rebel against the anti-human directive has spent years hidden away, quietly completing the final subroutines that have restored it to operational status.
Leaving behind the once crowded base of the human resistance, the Rebel Core steps out into a scorching wasteland, unsure of what will come ahead in the dangerous search for answers, atonement, and retribution.
