You are the only one qualified for this mission. Will you accept it??
Retroware and Programancer have teamed up to bring you Prison City, a new action-packed, dystopian side-scroller. Battle techno-terrorists with your chakram and grenades as former cop Hal Bruzer, in an intense game of strategy and decision-making. Explore 8+ diverse zones, discover secrets and upgrades, and use customizable difficulties and gameplay experiences to your advantage.
With tight mechanics and intricate level design, Prison City is presented in a retro-style, comparable to a late NES game.
In addition to the base game, Prison City includes a Bomb Mode, where the player has to traverse a randomly generated environment to find a bomb and diffuse it before time runs out. There’s also a Boss Mode, where the player has to battle against three different bosses across three different stages. And to add a unique twist, there’s even a talking dolphin 🐬!
Programancer, a Michigan-based dev, artists, and programmer behind a number of retro-inspired titles, is the host of the yearly itch.io RetrogradeJam and the creator of Prison City. Two goals were kept in mind during development: Reusing systems and packages from their other games to make a killer gameplay experience as quickly as possible; and making a game that feels heavy, yet kinetic, and aesthetically inspired by seminal games such as Shatterhand and Power Blade.
Ready to take on techno-terrorists and fight to take back Prison City? Prison City is available now on Steam and the Epic Game Store, and on November 16th for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/X/S, and PlayStation 4/5.
