Hamburg-based studio Impawsible Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its 2D pixel-art Metroidvania, 'Ninja Brigade feat. Jonah Weingarten,' which concludes on October 1, 2024.
The game features a narrative set in feudal Japan where a protagonist trapped in an arcade machine battles Yokai and monsters.
The project distinguishes itself through a hybrid gameplay model that combines traditional platforming and combat with fishing and mini-games.
The soundtrack is composed by Jonah Weingarten, known for his work with the bands Pyramaze and Catalyst Crime.
Impawsible Games is a 2021 startup founded by SAE Institute Hamburg graduates and is an alumnus of the 2020 Games Lift Incubator supported by Gamecity Hamburg.
The title is currently listed on Steam to document development progress as the studio utilizes crowdfunding to bring the niche independent project to market.
