Sit this one out, Fox
Oh, wow, Captain Forever — that brings me back. The last person to cover it on Destructoid was Anthony Burch. (He so would.) It’s a wonderful game about destroying spaceships and stealing their parts to cobble together a superior death machine. Play it for free in your browser.
I hadn’t heard that Pixelsaurus Games was working on an “officially-licensed remix” until now, so I’m rushing to catch up with any and all details available, including this recent trailer.
The visual upgrade alone has me giddy. Captain Forever Remix is going for that ’90s “amazing and weird cartoons” look, a style I’d love more videogames to embrace. That’s my childhood, man.
Expect the game to go on sale next month through Steam Early Access. As a roguelike, it should fare better in an unfinished state than, say, completely story-driven games. But we’ll have to see.
