GameZebo: A few keywords to get you interested right from the start: 16-bit, metroidvania, pixel art, Gradius, open-world RPG. Still salivating? That's exactly why games like as A.N.N.E exist. The Kickstarter project by Gamesbymo looks to combine some very well-loved game genres into a stunning platformer/RPG/shmup experience. A.N.N.E is a love letter from gaming's history, and it doesn't attempt to shrug off even a bit of nostalgia as it makes its way to modern players.
Josh Griffiths writes: "With a projected release of Summer 2017, you can imagine the response from the backers has been mixed. Usually when a Kickstarter game is delayed, even after this long, the majority of backers seem to be positive. A.N.N.E.’s backers have broken that trend though."
