Super brawling robot
Strap on your robo-boots, Domesticated Ant Gameshas droppedtheir retro-inspired platformer,Gravity Circuit, today.
What’sGravity Circuit? I’m just learning that right now, myself. Past me really dug it since I put it on my wishlist and forgot about it. I can totally see why! It looks like a missing link between the classicMega Manseries andMega Man X.
You play as metal hero Kai, who is trying to stop the evil doings of the Virus Army.Gravity Circuitbarely tries to hide its influences behind a fake mustache. There’s ride armor and upgrade chips. However, there seem to be more combat options, as hand-to-hand plays a big part. It claims to have action “dialed to the max.” Its trailer sure makes it look like that.
The graphics are done in a way that emulates the NES color palette. Obviously, a lot of the effects would be extremely difficult to pull off on the actual 8-bit hardware, but the aesthetic is there.
Mega Man Xismy comfort food, and I feel there’s more room in the world for platformers that can nail that same pace and feel. I’m not sureGravity Circuitcan do that, but I’m willing to find out.
you may find out yourself on Switch, PS4, PS5, or PC.Gravity Circuitis available today.
