OutbuddiesDX is a popular 2D side-scrolling game that embraces the spirit of ‘Metroid’ with a Cthulhu mix. Explore a side-scrolling adventure originally released on Steam now headed for a port on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. There is even a PlayStation 4 port expected later in the year.
This game originally launched on Steam and GOG back in October of last year. OutbuddiesDX is filled with an otherworldly adventure where players must take on deadly enemies with only their sidekick robot as an ally. Explore the unknown and battle through hostile Lovecraftian monsters at the bottom of the sea.
This game is a run and gun exploration in an open undercity. Explore a non-linear Metroidvania adventure that takes players to the depth of the ocean and face to face with the Old Gods. Explore a lost world full of strange creatures and strange problems.
The city of Bahlam is located deep in the South Atlantic Ocean following a shipwreck of Nikolay Bernstein’s vessel. After he regains consciousness at the bottom of the sea, he is left wounded and connected to a supernatural Buddy-unit from the lost city. Learn about the world around you and realize that there is an ominous presence ever watching the shadowy caverns.
Bahlam is not as empty as expected as players meet the Wozan, who were imprisoned by the Old Gods over 5000 years before. Strive to get back to the surface and help the Wozan make it back to the surface.
Explore a non-linear adventure with five distinct areas, each with their own remarkable puzzles, hazards, bosses, and Wozan. Your Buddy unit will map the area as you go and can help you manipulate your surroundings using its unique technology.
Your freedom of movement lets you explore the city at your own pace. Climb, crawl, dive, and more throughout the environment as you progress through a set of objectives and expand your understanding of the Old Gods.
Upgrade your weapons, suit, and droid, allowing you to gain access to new locations and abilities that will defeat the monsters lurking in the deep.
As this is a buddy game, players can experience a local co-op mode that lets them adventure together. Support your friends on the journey home as you solve puzzles and explore the city of Bahlam together.
The game is already available on Steam. Interested fans will be able to find OutbuddiesDX on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch very soon with a PlayStation 4 port expected later in the year.
