Dotemu, who created Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, created a new label with The Arcade Crew and released Blazing Chrome.
The Arcade Crew was born from a desire to produce and publish new games by creative "indie" teams. It is therefore under this new label that the Blazing Chrome cooperative arcade shooter will be released.
This Brazilian action game (Joymasher) in sidescrolling sends the player into the distant future. Future in which the world is controlled by an army of robots, led by an AI. Man, on the other hand, is relegated to the bottom of the social ladder. Instead of silver, metal became the new symbol of power and power. Mavra, a badass fighter, and her friend the robot Doyle, are part of the resistance. They embark on the fight to fold as many cans as possible, hoping to put down the dictates of the robots and change the order in place. The robots will be decimated by the hundreds under the blows of this shock duo, playable moreover in cooperation.
The game draws inspiration from classics like Metal Slug and Contra.
"We are not another indie label"
"The Arcade Crew capitalizes on Dotemu's development and production framework, but its ambition is different. It's about focusing on the production and publishing of new games, while Dotemu will continue its strategy of reviving popular and prestigious franchises of the past," said CEO Cyrille Imbert. "In this, we are not another indie label."
Blazing Chrome will be present at GDC from 21 to 23 and should be released in 2018. We can count on his presence at PAX, E3 and Gamescom.
The Arcade Crew will make various announcements during the year but warns that its line-up will be selective and restrictive: expect a handful of games per year.
