Makes me happy to see an interesting new 3DS game announced after earlier wanting to slit my wrists over The Conduit skipping 3DS for a smartphones.

Looks great! Future apocalyptic robot western!

Official quote from the game's website:

"Not another 3D effect showcase nor a cheap port; we’re making an Actual Game™! :)"

It looks pretty sick, someone with some art talent is behind this project, if nothing else.

So, are the eschewing the 3D because they want to make a real game? What? The 3DS has TONS of great games that utilize this unique feature. Is it possible the parallax backgrounds described are in 3D, if one so chose?

@Deerock69
Nah I think it's supposed to have multiple layers of 3-D parallax, I took that as they're just trying to say they're not relying on the gimmick of simply being 3-D.

I do like a good platforming game. I'll keep an eye out for this. Thanks for posting!

@deathly_hallows

Still, it's a bit weird that they suggest tons of games use 3D on 3DS as a gimmick and aren't "real games" when few games (if at all?) actually do.

Looks great, though.

@Simbabbad I was thinking exactly this. Most games sort of ignore the 3D or use it as an afterthought. I can't think of (m)any that are built around it.

I can't tell you how restrained I've felt while playing Castlevania. The backdrops are so GORGEOUS, and often you go by open doorways or cavern entrances or wispy, dust-blown roads. They're all very enticing to look at, but alas, you're forced down your fixed 2.5D path. Sweet agony!
