Prototype N

Get ready to dive into the neon drenched world of Prototype N, a thrilling 2D sci fi action game that's currently in development for PC. Created by the indie studio Arrietty, this side scroller captures the spirit of beloved classics like the Mega Man Legacy Collection while carving out its own unique identity with slick pixel art and a gripping futuristic story.

You'll step into the metal boots of Nadine, a prototype android who finds herself as the last line of defense against an army of rogue robots. The action is fast and frantic, blending tight platforming with intense shoot 'em up combat. What makes Prototype N really stand out is its arsenal – you have access to seven distinct weapons, various defensive shields, and collectible DataChips that can upgrade your abilities, letting you tailor your playstyle as you battle through the chaos.

The demo already shows a lot of promise, featuring a variety of different biomes to explore, each with its own set of enemies and epic boss battles to conquer. It's a fantastic taste of what's to come, offering a solid chunk of engaging gameplay wrapped in charming, detailed pixel visuals. While a full release date hasn't been announced yet, Prototype N is definitely one to keep on your radar if you're a fan of action packed side scrollers.
