8DAYS 8-bit Shooter Coming to Consoles Feb. 7, 2017

Publisher BadLand Games and Spanish studio Santa Clara Games are getting ready to release the 8-bit top-down shooter 8DAYS on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (digital) February 7, 2017.

A pixelated exercise in precision, patience, and peacekeeping, 8DAYS is already out on Steam. New players can now prove their mettle with a free demo.

DEVELOPER QUOTE
Alex Martín Ugalde (co-founder, Santa Clara Games):

“We believe that 8DAYS offers an awesome mix of guns, insane bosses and explosions coupled with a great story that will keep players engaged through to the very end.”

ABOUT 8DAYS:

G.O.D. Inc. is the world leader in the Private Military Company (PMC) sector — bringing peace to those conflict areas where its clients have strategic interests. In 8DAYS, players take on the role of Lola “Wasp” Cruz and Mike “Ghost” Doe — two of G.O.D.’s expendable mercenaries. G.O.D. and 8DAYS Magazine are modern instruments used to keep the masses under control. G.O.D. is primarily a peacekeeping force, and the 8DAYS Magazine keeps public opinion in line.

In the full game, players will unravel closely guarded secrets while keeping the peace throughout five intense chapters — on their own or with the help of a friend in local co-op.

8DAYS also features an original soundtrack; the title song, “Wildlands,” sets the scene before players go into battle:

8DAYS KEY FEATURES:

  • Dual-stick shooter with non-stop action
  • Hidden characters to find and secrets to uncover!
  • Two gameplay modes: single-player and local two-player co-op
  • Five chapters — including the previously released “Mission 1: Rice Wars”
  • Solid 2D arcade mechanics mixed with 3D input controls
  • Adaptive enemy A.I. makes each playthrough unique
  • Original OST features 31 heart-pumping tracks

AWARDS:

Awarded ”Best Gameplay” at Granada Gaming Festival 2015
Nominated for the AzPlay International Festival of Independent Games 2015

8DAYS will be released on Xbox One and PS4 February 7, 2017. The game is available now on Steam (Windows/Mac).
