Project Revenant, a Unique Precision-Aiming 2D Sidescroller, Announces Public Playtest
Korea-based developer Mayfly is developing Project Revenant, a unique 2D sidescrolling action game for PC where you'll need to use your mouse to specifically target enemies in order to hit them. No spray-and-pray here!
Mayfly, a Korea-based developer, is creating Project Revenant, a distinctive 2D sidescrolling action game for PC. Players will employ their mouse to precisely target enemies to inflict damage, rather than relying on indiscriminate fire. According to the developers, this game does not involve spraying bullets and hoping for the best.
Instead, players must master the unique combat system called Precision Aiming, which allows only enemies directly under their cursor to be damaged. To succeed, players must meticulously observe each enemy's position and attack pattern, then strike with precision. Headshots instantly eliminate enemies, while shooting down chandeliers crushes foes beneath them, and igniting explosive barrels eradicates groups of enemies.
Every challenge presents a strategic decision. Project Revenant offers unique gameplay twists in each stage, including unique bosses, a wide variety of foes such as cyborg ninjas, giant robots, and bounty hunters, and diverse environments. Players can experience these features in the playtest that commences on August 26 on Steam.
