Developed by WayForward Technologies, the RetroRealms games let players traverse worlds and enter different realms to overcome challenges inspired by Halloween and Ash vs Evil Dead. Combining retro visuals with modern mechanics, players venture between two overlapping worlds, with the ability to enter the nightmare infested Dark Realm at any time, which unlocks shortcuts, hidden pathways, and rewards for those brave enough to enter.

In RetroRealms: Halloween, “Players take control of Michael Myers and other characters from the original 1978 film to slash through familiar settings and overcome the ultimate evil that has descended upon our world.”

And in RetroRealms: Ash vs. Evil Dead, “Fans can play as Ash Williams to battle through iconic locations inspired by the STARZ original series while fighting Deadites and other familiar characters from the hit show.”

“The two RetroRealms titles, each sold separately, connect with each other to create an ever-expanding universe of popular characters that unlocks additional gameplay. The games can be played individually or, if both titles are purchased, new features can be accessed including taking characters from one game into the other. Players can also commemorate their achievements within the RetroRealms Arcade, a lovingly realized 3D gateway and tribute to arcade gaming that connects both titles, providing a single way to access every game in the series and to redeem in-game tickets, view leaderboards, and find other exclusive content.”

Wayforward rarely disappoints, I’ll pick this up for sure.

 

[drotahorror]

added some info.

neat that if you own both games they kind of cross over.

 

[Swagballs717]

So is RetroRealms gonna be a new series like Digital Eclipse's Gold Master Series where they license a bunch of recognizable IP's to make into 16 bit platformers?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Wasn't expecting this at all, but I'm in.

 

[kiphalfton]

Hopefully they can finish Ash vs Evil Dead story in some form (likely not live action, but either in this game or in the purported animated series).

 

[Kings Field]

[El Muerto]

Already looks better than the last Halloween game

 

[fart town usa]

Will definitely get. Perfect release for the Halloween season. I am usually critical of WayForward's visuals but Im OK with these.
