Mana Runner, a new pixel art RPG video game currently funding.
Radical Pixel Games currently have a Kickstarter running for their next videogame for PC Steam, Mana Runner. A cyberpunk action RPG, Mana Runner looks very much influenced by a cyberpunk touchstone here in the Cyberstopia bunker, the 1993 SNES Shadowrun videogame, developed by Beam Software and released by FASA.
Mana Runner promises real-time combat, with running, shooting, and rolling mechanics designed to give you a choice of strategies whilst under heavy gunfire. There are multiple playable characters, each with unique personality, and their own specialist combat skills and abilities. Players of Mana Runner can enjoy character progression and up-gradable gear, along with magic use and fantasy creatures like elves and half orcs.
Set in an alternate history 1997 New Orleans, you can expect around 15-25 hours, played over a number of Distinct locations, all in atmospheric cyberpunk pixel art environments, reminiscent of Bladerunner. The screenshots are beautiful, with fantastic background detail that make each location look like authentic, lived in cyberpunk settings.
Jamie, the developer of Mana Runner, is no stranger to successful Kickstarter projects, having previously funded and fulfilled another a turn-based RPG for PC Steam, Seed of Pandora: Legend of the Gaia Tree.
As of writing, there is just over a week left to fund this project, as it is due to end on Friday 10th July. If you’re a fan of the 90s Shadowrun games, retrogames, pixel art, or deep and engaging action RPGs, you don’t want to miss out.
