Relentless Rex: The Game
The Best Metroidvania Ever Designed by a T-Rex
If METROID made sweet, sweet love
with CONTRA, and nine months later their baby was raised by BIT.TRIP RUNNER (the family butler), that creation would be named RELENTLESS REX: THE VIDEO GAME! It's a claw-drawn, action-adventure platformer in which you help an assortment of characters explore and race through dangerous locations, using your environment, special power-ups/weapons, and the help of others to try (in vain) and escape my bloodthirsty jaws. But just when you think you're safe and you're chillin' at the local pub, I come storming back again and again, destroying everything in my path and stopping at nothing to catch my next meal (you).
Designed to be a community crowdsourced project, Kickstarter pledges gave supporters a say in the design of this game's characters, powers, and environments.
Want An Alien Queen Rexzilla (complete with face-bursting parasite) chasing a cybernetic soldier through a Synthwave Submarine labyrinth?—We've got that!!!
A fairweather Sparkle Griffin that blasts laser-blade feathers from its wings?—Done!
(Things are gonna be as crazy as your mama after a case of Red Bulls.) Fun with a dark sense of humor, your playable charcters will be subjected to all manner of twisted tortures during their escapes. And even if you successfully navigate each perilous course, you still may not make it out alive! (Hint: A dinosaur's gotta eat.) After all, I'M the star of this game—NOT YOU! This ain't your great great great great great great great great grandcestor's video game!
