Appsir, the creators of the chilling DERE Vengeance, are back with a new mobile game: Spooky Pixel Hero. This retro-styled, meta-horror platformer plunges players into a 1976 game riddled with unsettling mysteries.
Players assume the role of a game developer debugging a lost platformer for a secretive agency. The adventure unfolds across 120+ challenging levels, with a narrative that transcends the game itself, hinting at sinister consequences. The game's pixel art style, while seemingly retro-cute, creates a distinctly unsettling atmosphere, reminiscent of Airdorf Games' Faith.
Spooky Pixel Hero offers a blend of hardcore platforming and a meta-horror story. While the pixel art style might not be historically accurate, its abstract nature effectively builds suspense. Given Appsir's track record with DERE Vengeance, Spooky Pixel Hero promises a genuinely frightening experience despite its somewhat lighthearted title.
Prepare for chills!
Spooky Pixel Hero launches on August 12th for Google Play and the iOS App Store. In the meantime, explore our lists of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 for more gaming thrills!
