Cyberfang Studios announced a Japanese localization for the pixel-art run & gun platformer Project Sentinel - Zero Tolerance, releasing a Japanese trailer and Steam page. The game draws from cyberpunk works like AKIRA and Ghost in the Shell, and classic arcade shooters. Players control a cybernetic officer who can arrest suspects using a Cybernetic Roar or protect civilians. Active Gaming Media handles the localization. A PC release on Steam is planned.
Project Sentinel - Zero Tolerance wears its influences on its sleeve: AKIRA, Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, and RoboCop, plus arcade shooters from the 80s and 90s. The game casts players as a cybernetic law enforcement officer in a dystopian city overrun by corruption and gangs. The core mechanic is the Cybernetic Roar, which can demoralize enemies into surrendering, letting the player arrest them instead of killing. The same ability can order civilians to take cover, forcing tactical choices between arrests and protection. Active Gaming Media handled the Japanese localization. The game is scheduled for release on Steam for PC.
