The first footage of Death March Club reminds us a whole lot of the crew’s earlier works…besides it’s a platformer.
Death March Club is the primary game from Too Kyo Games, which was based by Kazutaka Kodaka (creator of Danganronpa) and Kotaro Uchikoshi (creator of Zero Escape). It seems like Death March Club will discover related darkish themes, however with a special model of gameplay.
The trailer accommodates a gap cinematic, which outlines the ‘Assignment Game’, which not in contrast to the Nonary Game from Zero Escape (though the game’s antagonist reminds us way more of Monokuma). After some ominous and acquainted description of this (you may flip English subs on for the trailer under), the digital camera zooms out…and divulges a bunch of anime youngsters on a bus watching this grim state of affairs play out on TV. Twist!
As it seems, Death March Club is a 2.5 puzzle platformer with a cutesy anime visible model. Will kids nonetheless get killed? Probably! Lots of the gameplay footage is simply of children operating round, however the game’s official site has some extra rationalization of what’s occurring:
“In a faculty in Tokyo, there’s a group known as the ‘Losers class’ during which underachievers from across the nation have been gathered collectively as classmates. This class is made up of Reycho and his buddies. Kids which are considerably uncommon in comparison with the remainder of their friends.
On a sure summer season day, on a faculty journey, their faculty bus will get caught in a rock slide accident. They awake discovering themselves in an amusement park that was constructed underwater, closed down for years and left deserted. From out of nowhere seems a clown, demanding they participate in a game of demise the place they need to sacrifice the lives of their classmates to win.
Without having any time to grasp what’s occurring Reycho and his buddies are dragged into the clown’s inhumane game and need to battle for his or her lives. How will these youngsters overcome this insanely irregular state of affairs? When every part appears to be fully hopeless and they’re at their wits finish, mysterious powers awaken with them.
And all on the similar time…the world above… undergoes some excessive adjustments too.”
The game has solely been introduced for PC thus far, however we’d be shocked if it didn’t come to PS4 as effectively.
