I said to myself today it's time to give the retro homebrew a break and focus more on the Indie, but when retrotaku gave us the (exclusive) heads up of a Metal Slug inspired shooter coming to Neo-Geo we just had to see for ourselves. Well here it is, 'Kraut Buster' a comical action Run'n'Gun shooting game made for the 16 bit system NEO·GEO and developed by NGD Team with a release date of Winter 2015!

More Game Features (exact details are subject to change):
- 5-6 end bosses and several sub bosses
- 2 player simultaneous mode CO-OP: players can interact with each other.
- 8-way: Allows to shoot in 8 directions
- Swaying: Some weapons allow 16-direction by swaying with the joystick
- Switch weapons: quick tap 'D' to switch between weapon I and II
- Grenade hold: Hold joystick in direction to throw grenades more far
- Ledge drop: Use the terrain and obstacles to your advantage
- Position lock: Hold your position while aiming
- Chain based scoring system to provide a long term challenge
- multiple heights/ways platforming for more ways to play the game
- 3 "routes" / difficulties
- Arcade perfect playtime of approx. 35 minutes per run (normal route)
- Bloodpumping FM based arcade soundtrack
- 60fps
It all sounds so incredibly impressive, and as a huge Metal Slug fan, this would be one game I'd gladly go out and buy a Neo-Geo just to play! So lets hope the developers make further versions and it ends up on Steam. Kraut Buster is available to Pre-Order on this Website with further specification and details on the main home page
