Press release:
Milwaukee, WI.
The indie games publisher Nami Tentou and indie games developer Orebody Inc. are today very happy and excited to announce that their run-and-gun love letter to NES games, “Orebody: Binder’s Tale“, is now available for PC via Steam.

Orebody: Binder’s Tale is a run and gun platformer with beautiful pixel art and rocking chiptunes that takes place on the alien world of Orebody.

Built originally as an 8-bit NES game and then ported to PC, Binder’s Tale provides an authentic old school experience for young and old players alike. As an orphaned battle bot named Binder, players run, jump, and blast their way across Orebody in order to reach the Floating City of Galvanstad, a hovering A.I. fortress, to confront their makers and avenge the death of their mentor.

But that’s not all! The Steam version of Binder’s Tale contains a bonus 8-bit game experience, Orebody: Sand Ripples. In this short box-pushing puzzle game, players control a sand squid that is trying to save the Great Sand Sea Solorus from the destructive mining practices of the SolarSeed Corporation.

KEY FEATURES:

Authentic NES experience!

Fast-paced run and gun gameplay!

Expand your move set as you progress!

Traverse unique alien environments, from burning forests to city slums to floating robot fortresses!

Wield multiple weapon types!

Battle 15 vicious bosses!

Uncover the secrets of Galvanstad!

With the Steam version of Binder’s Tale, you get it all! Play through the game’s campaign in Novice or Advanced difficulty modes. Try to beat every one of the game’s bosses in a row using only three lives in Boss Rush mode, or simply sit back and jam out to the game’s soundtrack in Jukebox mode.

Although originally developed for the NES, this special release of Orebody: Binder’s Tale has additional extras such as achievements, rumble support, concept art, the official soundtrack, a high-quality in-game scan of the manual, and much more in the game to view!
