Press release:
Heidelberg, June, 3rd 2019 – The 2014 est german game studio Andrade Games just has released the first playable demo of its new 2D platformer “Heidelberg 1693” for PC via itch.io.
As a musketeer you are entering the wartorn and devastated town of Heidelberg to battle the mysterious Moonking. The game interweaves historical elements with a phantastic storyline.
Unique and in 2D action platform games so far unseen authentic handling of the musket rifle makes it demanding to make your way through undead and werewolves.
The demo consists of three stages and one furios bossfight against Count Tilly, a famous general from the thirty years war, who finds himself reactivated by the moonking.
The game provides an increasing level of difficulty and as a result of the unique weapons handling an exciting mix of action and tactics.
All of this is set into a most appealing scenery with a very own 2D sprite style. Turning accurate research into a joyful game is the key asset of this development – from the game mechanics driven by the weapons handling to the imagery based on the color palettes of the 17th century, as well as the the music arrangement by Erzen Luboja plays with contemporary baroque elements, too
The release of the final game will be in october 2019. First on steam and as we did it before a release for switch and this time playstation and xbox are already in the pipeline for 2020.
