Get Ready for a Red Planet Romp!
If you’ve been yearning for a game that blends classic action platforming with a bizarre, comedic sci-fi narrative, then clear your launchpad for Saving Princess of Mars! Developed by Hrtz Games and published by Ocean Media, this retro-inspired adventure is ready to crash-land on your screens, proving that a simple Earth lumberjack is all you need to shake up the entire solar system.
The Most Unlikely Hero: Jack
Forget your grizzled space marines—our protagonist is Jack, a lumberjack from Earth, who somehow finds himself teleported straight onto the red sands of Mars. His mission, should he choose to accept it (and he kinda has to, since he’s already there), is to rescue the captivating Princess of Mars.
But this isn’t your typical damsel-in-distress tale. The developers promise a journey packed with unexpected turns, slapstick combat, and cosmic mysteries. The story is described as an “unconventional” cinematic narrative that blends comedy, sci-fi, and mystery into a finale you won’t see coming.
Gameplay: Old-School Platforming with a Punch
At its core, Saving Princess of Mars is a love letter to 1990s 2D platformers, wrapped in charming pixel art. But it brings some modern twists to the formula:
- Chaotic Combat: Leave your laser pistols at home. Combat is physics-driven and relies on spontaneous moves. You’ll be stomping, kicking, and improvising your way through strange Martian enemies in a “slapstick ballet of mayhem.”
- Hand-Crafted Levels: The game features seven large, uniquely designed platforming stages, each offering multiple paths to completion. Exploration is key to finding all the secrets!
- Multiple Playable Characters: While Jack is the star, you’ll be able to switch between four distinct heroes, each boasting unique abilities to help tackle different challenges.
- Humour at Every Step: Expect witty character banter and tongue-in-cheek commentary throughout the adventure, keeping the bizarre mood lighthearted.
More Than Just a Rescue
While the title suggests a singular goal, the game hints at a larger mystery, raising questions like: Is there life on Mars? And what help can you get from Prof. One-Rock? This satirical adventure promises to be as philosophical as it is funny.
For those who love a challenge, the game offers up to four hours of initial gameplay, with an unlockable Hard Mode and 42 achievements to pursue once you’ve saved the Princess for the first time.
Launching Soon!
Get ready to jump, kick, and solve your way through this bizarre Martian adventure! Saving Princess of Mars is launching on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. It’s the perfect fix for gamers craving retro aesthetics, tight platforming, and a story that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
