‘Turbo Kid’ Video Game Kickstarter Begins, Smashes Initial Funding Goal

Published

Outerminds’ Kickstarter for their adaptation of Anouk Whissell, François Simard and Yoann-Karl Whissell‘s, Turbo Kid launched yesterday after some delay, and already the project has made bank. The campaign was asking for $50,000 CAD, but had smashed that with $59,713 in 10 hours. The campaign still has 29 days to go.

Obviously, there are stretch goals for this one, including the ability at $160K to play as Laurence Leboeuf’s character, Apple. There are also plenty of backer rewards, including physical copies of the game for the Nintendo Switch, a physical copy of the Turbo Kid comic book, a copy of the soundtrack on cassette (and digital), and the standard “name in the credits” reward.

As for the game itself, it’s styled as a Metroidvania, and takes place after the conclusion of the film, where The Kid travels the wasteland in search of hope. You’ve also got to take care of “scoundrels and creeps” along the way to survive. If you’re a fan of Mega Man X, Super Metroid or Out of This World, this is the game for you.

Currently, the game is being developed for PC and Nintendo Switch.

The full release of V Rising is coming up quick. And just in case the upcoming Castlevania crossover wasn’t enough, Stunlock has released a new gameplay trailer showing off the new Ruins of Mortium endgame zone for V Rising.

Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
  • Experience dynamic endgame events
  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
  • New weapons, A new tier of equipment, and magic improvements
  • Improvements to castle building, decor, and storage
  • Native, smoothly implemented gamepad support
  • Game optimization and visual improvements

V Rising exits Early Access on Steam on May 8th, alongside the Legacy of Castlevania crossover. A PlayStation 5 version will also be released later this year.
