Fan Game ‘RoboCop Vs Predator’ Now Available for Free [Trailer]
RoboCop: Rogue City finally gave fans what they wanted from a video game adaptation of the franchise. But you want more, you say. Well, since we already have RoboCop Versus The Terminator, why not continue that route? That’s exactly what developer Oscar Celestini has done with their free game, RoboCop Vs Predator!
Currently available on itch.io, RoboCop Vs Predator takes after the classic Virgin Interactive sidescroller, but with a Game Boy influence in its graphics and sound. Don’t worry, the detail is still there, as RoboCop will be gunning down thugs in an effort to stop the Predator. However, the Predator isn’t the only problem RoboCop will be facing, as more “troubles from the future” soon appear. But luckily for Robo, some friends from other franchises are also here to help save the future of the human race.
RoboCop Vs Predator features an original story (obviously) by Simone Granata, spread across five zones, each featuring two acts and a boss. There’s also a bonus shooting stage that’s a callback to the arcade games. Graphically, you can choose to play using the classic green Game Boy palette or a black and white scheme, with scanline options for each. The whole thing is backed up by a score by Gianluca Pappalardo, which has an awesome chiptune rendition of the iconic RoboCop March.
