And boy, does it look polished. Well, as polished as 8-bit era games can look. The quirky little adventure is also a budget title, coming in at under AUD$15. Developed and published by Indie studio, LUEGOLU3GO STUDIOS, based in Spain, Nogalious definitely wears its retro heart on its pixelated sleeve.

Nogalious is a retro-style action platformer that pays homage to the era of classic 2D platforming on 8-bit personal computers. Explore 5 different worlds and go through cozy dungeons as you revive the magic of the late-eighties. This is the first title of a trilogy that tells the story of Nogalious, his daughter Mariet, and the evil Darama.

“Following the success of our physical edition of Nogalious on PC, we’re extremely glad to launch our title on Steam too”, says Raúl Nogales, CEO at Luegolu3go Studios. “This game is a fresh breeze of classic gameplay that will fulfill the expectations of every retro gamer .”

Nogalious was funded from Kickstarter with a total of 246 backers. Since it’s release back in June, the game has become a legend among avid fans of classic gaming, which have ordered thousands of copies for PC. Physical versions for MSX, Commodore, Amstrad and Spectrum will be released in the near future.
