That looks like a ton of fun.

A PC demo is available: http://www.ancient.co.jp/~game/mamot...ght/index.html

I just got done playing the demo and I've got to say, Mamotte Knight is a lot of fun. The 8-bit style adds to it, of course, but after a few levels the orcs and monsters get poured on and the kill combos start going up nicely. The multiplayer looks like it should be pretty fun too. It definitely needs English instructions, though. I got through easily enough (the demo is only the first three levels, after all) but think I could have done better with a little more information on how it plays.

What the hell happened to Arkedo, anyway?

Probably got discouraged after making neat games with nice production values, but still getting beat in sales a hundredfold by How to Talk to Women and Holy Fuck Look at This Shit, It Has 'Zombie' In the Title.

I wonder if they'll switch to iphone like Halfbrick has, another dev that put out great games most people ignored.

I've only played the demo a bit (kind of busy tonight, sadly) but Exelniya Burst seems to be more than a little great so far. It's an easy $1 spent. Apparently you can get it free for PC as well, and translated to boot.

Breath of Death VII is really damn good. Robust 8-bit RPG for a buck.

I think all the Arkedo titles are/were on the top selling Indie game list.
Wasn't the original plan only for three titles?

[Bacon McShig]

They were in the top sellers for maybe a few days after release, and even then I don't recall seeing them above third place. Then the list quickly reverted back to all the usual Zombie This/Avatar That shit.

And they were teasing at least one more game in the works after Pixel.
