Think Smash but with more Skynet
Horizon Dangeris described by its lone creator, SCaffa, as a “2 to 4 person local-multiplayer action game set in a cyberpunk dystopian future.” Without a doubt,thisis the kind of local PvP multiplayer game that I would be interested in playing.
The title draws influence from ’80s and ’90s sci-fi films such asTerminator 2andRoboCopas well as musical inspiration from retro synth artists likePerturbatorandNightcrawler. SCaffa artfully blends all of these ideas together with a gorgeous pixel art presentation I find irresistible.
Originally planned for a release sometime in2014,Horizon Dangeris now tentatively scheduled for a full release around March of next year. The developer mentions that it’s possible the game could release before then on Early Access, but that will depend entirely on its ranking in the videogame purgatory known asSteam Greenlight.
I think SCaffa’s really got something going on here withHorizon Danger. Even with around six months of projected development left to go, I’m really liking what I’m seeing so far. While the gameplay is still a work in progress, the developer has convinced me through his selection of fittingly brooding music and the eye-catching pixel art style that this is one to keep an eye on.
If you thinkHorizon Dangeris the kind of game that you’d like to see on Steam, head on over to its Greenlight page and give it avote.
