Little Legendary's 'SHADE Protocol' has drawn over 150,000 Steam wishlists, the developer announced. The Kickstarter campaign, which launched June 4 with a $40,000 goal, has raised roughly $270,000 and unlocked ten stretch goals. Those include new areas, weapons, a Primal Boss, and a boss rush mode. The game is set in a cyber-fantasy world where the protagonist Zura, a Replica prototype, can rewrite reality to alter stage structures. Players switch between DAWN and SHADE modes in real time and use music-inspired weapons like spears and chakrams for combat and exploration. Composer Manami Matsumae and vocalist Emi Evans are contributing to the soundtrack. Collaboration content with 'CrossCode' and 'Alabaster Dawn' will add bosses and special moves from those games. The final stretch goal at $300,000 would unlock additional content. 'SHADE Protocol' is planned for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.
