Studio Koba and Aeternum Game Studios released Future Knight, a 2D action shooter styled after 1980s LCD games. Players control the robot Future Knight and its partner, a benign tumor named Two More, to stop a cult from erasing human memory in 1993. Each stage covers one hour of the eight-hour countdown. The game is available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch for 1,980 yen, with a 10 percent Steam discount through August 28.
Future Knight is out now, and the world has eight hours left. The game, from Studio Koba and Aeternum Game Studios, casts players as the robot Future Knight and its partner, a benign tumor named Two More, who must stop a cult leader from erasing human memory in 1993. Each stage represents one hour of the countdown, with settings like a park, a construction site, and an all-you-can-eat restaurant.
Combat uses a choreography-style system where players switch between the two characters, combining Future Knight's firepower with Two More's mobility. The visual style pays homage to 1980s LCD games, and the soundtrack comes from Salvinsky, who worked on Narita Boy.
