'Sublevel Zero: Redux' is a 'Decent Underground' Alternative for Console Players, Game Already Out for Xbox One, PS4 Version Coming This Week [VIDEO]
Players who are interested in 8-bit inspired remakes, classic shooters, and space adventure games would likely be excited to know that the updated version of 2015's "Sublevel Zero" has just been launched for current generation consoles. The new game, titled "Sublevel Zero: Redux," will basically be the same game as the original title released on Steam, but with the exception of its new content, campaign and features.
"Sublevel Zero: Redux" is also considered by some fans as a great alternative to the unreleased action shooter, "Decent Underground." The crowdfunded video game, created by the developers behind "Star Citizen," will unfortunately not arrive until next year and it hasn't been announced yet if there would be console versions. For this reason, "Sublevel Zero: Redux," will likely become the go-to choice for console players to get their pixel-shooting fix.
As per a report from Engadget, the game's lead artist and co-founder, Gary Lloyd, explained that the game was built as a homage to the classic "Decent" video game titles. Similar to the game it is based from, "Sublevel Zero: Redux" will be giving players the full six degrees of freedom to move around the different areas.
The big difference, however, is that the worlds in "Sublevel Zero: Redux" will be procedurally generated, which means that no two levels will be alike. The games developers, Sigtrap, have also added new elements to the game to make it more modern and engaging for new players.
"Sublevel Zero: Redux" will apparently be coming with 70 additional rooms, new enemies, unlockable foes, loot, and an enhanced campaign that gets more challenging as players progress through the game. The overall look of the game has also been greatly improved with the inclusion of "hyper-saturated" neon lighting. According to App Trigger, the game's soundtrack has also been improved and designed to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
"Sublevel Zero: Redux" was first launched on the Xbox One last week. The PlayStation 4 version, on the other hand, is coming out this week, on March 8.
