Powerglove kicks ass, and Panzer Paladin — an upcoming, retro-inspired 2D action-platformer — looks like it’s going to kick major ass. So it only seems logical that these two ass kickers join forces, right?
That’s exactly what they did with Powerglove releasing Panzer Paladin’s official theme song today, which you can listen to in the above video.
I got the chance to play the game during PAX East this year and came away very impressed. In fact, here’s a quick look of my playthrough the demo during the show.
Here’s the game’s official description:
The sight of giant swords blazing through the night sky might be hair-raising, but stand your ground! The sinister Ravenous and his legions of brutal demons are poised for battle. Even all the armies of the world can’t stop them, but humanity has one final ace in the hole: cutting-edge power armor called Paladin.
It’s now up to a strong-willed android named Flame to become a Squire, pilot the Paladin and track down all Weapon Keepers and their diabolical leader. The showdown between mankind’s technological prowess and the powerful forces of the occult has begun!
Seize weapons from the denizens of the Netherworld and give them a taste of their own medicine! Show them the power of cutting-edge technology fused with masterful swordplay. Slash, bash and thrust your way through a series of mind-blowing levels around the world, all of it rendered in glorious 8-bit graphics! Hop in your Paladin and take up arms!
Panzer Paladin is developed by Tribute Games and will release on Steam and Nintendo Switch this summer. You can add it to your Steam Wishlist and visit the game’s official website.
