Tallowmere hitting the North American Wii U eShop on September 1
Posted on August 5, 2016 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop
Indie developer Chris McFarland is bringing his “2D indie action roguelike-inspired platformer” to Wii U. Having come out on other platforms last year, it’ll now head to the eShop on September 1 in North America, Mexico, and Brazil.
You can find a trailer for Tallowmere below. We’ve also included a bunch of gameplay information after the break.
Dust off your shields and polish your axes. Prepare to see how many rooms you (and your friends!) can clear. Will you reach Room 10? Room 20? Room 60? How far can you make it?
Lady Tallowmere has placed many an enemy to keep you at bay, though she is equally generous with the amount of treasure you can acquire – with stealth-enabling daggers, teleporting katanas, fragile ice wands, explosive rocket launchers, and more – ranging from Basic to Otherworldly.
As her dungeons come in the shape of a 2D platformer, you can expect a lot of jumping, coupled with the occasional explosion and mangled corpse.
Supporting 1-4 players, you’ll be able to delve solo with the Wii U GamePad, or additionally connect up to 3 Wii U Pro Controllers and/or Wii Classic Controllers to plunder and loot with your friends with local shared-screen couch co-op. You’ll be able to track your greatest efforts with a local high score board, and there’s plenty of achievements to strive for.
