Shoot ’em up game Remote Life releasing on Switch this month

Today, publisher Ratalaika Games has teamed up with developer Next Game Level to bring Remote Life to consoles. The shoot ’em up title will be available for Switch on May 27, 2022.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game as provided in the official overview:

Remote Life is a 2D side scrolling space shooter.

The graphics are huge 3D pre-rendered sprites and are gorgeously animated. It is full of cool menacing monsters. The backgrounds look fantastic and fit perfectly to the Alien world. The Bosses look so infinity creepy and scary that the cg-artist had to design them with closed eyes.

There are an immense number of weapons. You are surrounded by such a Brutal-Frenetic-Sci-Fi-Techno-Alien World that is so brilliantly credible that you can almost smell the gasses that the aliens create when you blast them off. The soundtrack fits perfectly to the theme and the pace of the game. This game is is a full immersion in an unseen world.
