HPP: A lot of indie titles appeal to gamers using retro sensibilities. They may look like retro games, sound like retro games, and have similar gameplay, but generally there’s something different about them. Somehow, Dadako ignores this trend and does its very best to make Pirate Pop Plus as close to a classic 8-bit experience as possible, right down to the interface. Whether this is good or bad depends on your own attitude toward pixel art and chiptune, but Pirate Pop Plus is an impressive experience for anyone that’s owned a Game Boy.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "13AM Games, an indie studio operating out of Toronto, first made a splash in 2015 with its colorful, addictive party platformer Runbow. Since then the company has experimented with several different genres and mechanics, developing action-adventure title Double Cross and beat-em-up Dawn of the Monsters, and porting and publishing retro-style arcade game Pirate Pop Plus.
To commemorate the launch of 13AM's latest game, the co-op kaiju beat-'em-up Dawn of the Monsters, we reached out to studio CEO Alex Rushdy, who was kind enough to answer our questions."
The Switch version of Pirate Pop Plus will launch via the Nintendo eShop on May 31, developer 13AM Games announced.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Music is very important in video games, it sets the tone and the atmosphere. These are the soundtracks that stuck out the most to us in 2016."
