Ever wondered what happens when you mix Mega Man, Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden, Kenshiro, and Guts? You get Oniken: a game made to satisfy your 8-bit platforming action needs.
Don’t be quick to judge this as another 8-bit indie game. Based from the demo, which can be downloaded here, its clear to be aiming at our nostalgia soft spots. I mean we got 80’s looking anime charactrs, post apoclyptic settings, and robots with lazer beams!
The game runs on Windows platform and costs a measly 4.99 USD. Give it a shot, and who knows, it might actually end up reaching other platforms. We all know that our gaming industry needs more of this.
