Former Sony Computer Entertainment London and Criterion employees, Richard Bunn and David Green, have launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring their new military action title KILLSTORM to PC/Mac and mobile gaming devices. The video game sees players take the seat of a lethally-armed, highly agile attack helicopter to strike against enemies in a reimagining of a 16-bit classic.

KILLSTORMAn updated title for a new era of gaming, KILLSTORM features retrogameplay, camera angle and action but with modern controls and visuals. Using simple actions players will fly a gunship around a battlefield and out-maneuver enemies. Missions will be many and varied with time of day changes and multiple environments allowing for desert, forest and ocean strike targets.

The campaign has received positive press from gameinformer and Eurogamer who said, "Killstorm has an isometric camera angle and gameplay those who played the likes of Desert Strike will remember." (Click here to read the original Eurogamer article.)

KILLSTORM

KILLSTORM is being developed by British developers Nice Touch Games. The company was started in 2011 by veteran AAA developers, Richard Bunn and David Green, who have worked on titles like Black, Burnout and 8 Days at some of the biggest companies in the industry including EA, Criterion and Sony Computer Entertainment. As a team they have developed several indie games, been awarded prestigious accolades and interviewed for magazines such as DEVELOP.

KILLSTORM

The team chose Kickstarter because they want to build and engage a community of fans that will help shape KILLSTORM. Knowing how passionate many gamers are about retro titles, opening up the development process is an important factor in creating a high caliber video game that people want to play.

The Kickstarter campaign begins today and will run for thirty days. Reward tiers include a download of the game, early Beta access and exclusive Kickstarter backer-only content. To watch the campaign video, play the demo and pledge support, visit the Kickstarter page here.
