RETRO CARNAGE

The goal of this project is to take you back to the best part of your childhood. To do this, we are building a modern multidirectional scrolling shooter. Once finished, Retro-Carnage is going to be a worthy successor of classic video games like Ikari Warriors by SNK, War Zone by Core Design, or Dogs of War by Elite Systems.

This game is currently being developed - but not ready to get played, yet.

Development status as of 2021-08-09
