Panzer Paladin Announced by Tribute Games

Tribute Games, known for releases like Flinthook and Mercenary Kings, announced that Panzer Paladin is now in development.

An 8-bit style action-platformer, players will make sure of swordplay with the Paladin power armor. Players will be able to seize melee weapons from demonic invaders and deliver some swift karma. There will be high versus low attacking and blocking, a rock-paper-scissor weapon-type system that will provide attack bonuses, and the ability to cast spells through the destruction of weapons.

According to Tribute’s game designer Jonathan Lavigne:

“For a long time I wanted to make a NES-style game with swordplay mechanics like the ones from Zelda II on NES. Panzer Paladin is the culmination of two subjects I wanted to address in a traditional platformer: swordplay and mechas. A strong aspect I also wanted to include in this project is the various usage of an array of weapons. A little bit like in our previous title Mercenary Kings.”

PAX East 2019 attendees can play the game at booth #17116.
