Venture Kid is a 2D retro platformer released for PC, iOS, etc. The game was developed by FDG Mobile Games and it is a premium product meaning it has no microtransactions.

Plot

The story of Venture Kid revolves around a crazy scientist named Teklov, who began building a cosmic fortress. The villain's plan is simple - he convinced everyone that equipping this megastructure with powerful weaponry will make it possible to bring peace to the world. He did not mention, however, that he intended to achieve this goal by taking full control of the planet. The last hope of mankind is the boy named Andy who tries to thwart Teklov's ambitions.

Mechanics

Venture Kid is modelled on 8-bit console platformers, especially on the Mega Man series. While playing, we explore large 2D levels with a partially open structure, which have been densely filled with traps and secrets. Maps are also swarming with enemies, both standard and more powerful ones. We fight them using a large arsenal of weapons, and we can also help ourselves by unlocking eight different character upgrades.

Technical aspects

All this was done in a retro style full of large pixels and provided with a soundtrack composed by Matt Creamer. The game offers great controls via the touch interface, but also has the option of using controllers.
