Indie Publisher Ratalaika Games Announces the Upcoming Release of The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection
Exciting news for platformer lovers and gamers alike, as indie publisher Ratalaika Games, in collaboration with indie developer Pixelcraft Games, are thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of two highly anticipated titles in a single pack – The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection.
Set to launch on 26th January 2024 for Xbox Series S & X, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 & 5, this collection offers two impactful side-scrolling adventure games that promise to provide hours of enjoyment and challenges.
The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection is a must-have for all action platformer fans. The games feature a unique blend of constant movement and engaging characters, with a dash of humor and lightheartedness. Hidden within the game’s maps are small secrets and quirky NPCs with useless but entertaining dialogues, adding to the overall charm of the game. The collection includes both the original game, The Adventures of Panzer, and its sequel, The Adventures of Panzer 2, both of which offer players the opportunity to swap between the legendary retired raid leader, Panzer, and his trusty sidekick, Blarghe, and harness their unique attributes.
The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection offers an action-packed 2D platformer experience. The first game in the franchise, The Adventures of Panzer, boasts raw and straightforward game design, with challenging and unforgiving gameplay, including random bosses. This game offers no compromises, just good old-fashioned determination to continue forward and conquer every obstacle in the way.
The newest addition to the series, The Adventures of Panzer 2, builds on the success of its predecessor and makes the game even more accessible to players of all levels. With the addition of various quality of life features, such as a level select option, character upgrades, and multiple playable characters, this game promises an epic side-scrolling adventure that is both enjoyable and challenging. The level design is also more detailed and engaging, making the gameplay experience even more impressive.
And let’s not forget the explosive boss fights that have been taken up a notch in this sequel.
Set roughly a year after the first game, The Adventures of Panzer 2 reunites Panzer as the Raid Leader of the Zergadins, with a new team in tow and a state-of-the-art headquarters ready for action. However, as with any good adventure game, a new evil has arrived, and it will take the combined efforts of the team to defeat it. This time, Panzer is not alone, and players get to join forces with characters like the agile hunter Kankaro, the mage Ahzriaz with her deadly ice magic, and the crazed troll Vespeto and his explosive madness.
The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection boasts multiple playable characters, real-time character swapping, unlockable special abilities, and non-linear progression. The game also features a simple currency system for players to buy more health, skippable cutscenes, and an abundance of useless NPC dialogues, adding to the overall enjoyment and immersion. With nine fully fleshed-out levels and ten challenging bosses, this game offers endless hours of entertainment.
The Adventures of Panzer 2 is twice the size of its predecessor, with much more content to explore. The non-linear nature of the game allows players to choose their own path, while the levels themselves remain predetermined, as seen in most 2D side-scrolling games of this era.
One of the highlights of The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection is the soundtrack, with all music and sound effects created by Logan E. Schad. Months were spent crafting each level’s theme music, ensuring that each level is distinct, from Pugnas’ dark and evil castle to Hareynas’ Farm.
With its upcoming release, The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection promises to be a must-have game for all platformer enthusiasts. With its engaging storyline, challenging gameplay, and entertaining characters, this collection is not one to be missed. Mark your calendars for 26th January 2024, and get ready for an epic side-scrolling adventure like no other.
