Brave Earth: Prologue, aCastlevaniainspired action platformer, was shown off during Kinda Funny Games’ E3 showcase after a long hiatus. Destructoid actuallywrote about it three years agowith the game being announced in 2011. In development for the last five years, this title comes courtesy ofI Wanna Be The GuycreatorMichael “Kayin” O’Reilly. It doesn’t look to be as brutally challenging, but it does maintain his streak of retro gaming goodness.
While not given a strict release date, the trailer ends by sayingBrave Earthwill be heading to PC soon. It looks to be quite the trip, so I’ll keep my eyes on this. I nearly thought it was another game by Yacht Club Games with the art style going on, but I’m just happy to see so many games carrying the torch that Konami won’t.
