A cult classic from the 16-bit era returns as Greensnake releases a modernised PC remake of Torvak the Warrior, a legendary barbarian rebuilt from the ground up using the Godot engine. Independent developer Greensnake has released a faithful yet significantly enhanced remake of the 1990 Amiga hack-and-slash platformer, Torvak the Warrior. This new version serves as both a nostalgic trip for retro fans and a technical showcase for what is achievable in 2D platforming using the Godot Game Engine.
True to the source material, you control the titular hero, Torvak, a warrior armed with a signature double-headed axe. As you traverse hazardous levels, you must battle relentless aliens and navigate dangerous platforms. The game maintains the original's unique "cracking" mechanic for bonus items. Special statues found throughout the levels require two hits to yield their rewards; the first blow cracks the stone, while the second causes it to crumble, revealing essential power-ups
- Sprites come from the Amiga version of the game
- Gameplay improved. Background modern or original.
- Music and SFX at the same time
- Note: The game is free but you can contribute to the development and access to the source code.

People have to pay you to buy Core’s IP? Doesn’t sound like a very ethical business model.
ReplyDeleteIts Java source code only as well, so you need a player. It works in the itch.io app though
DeleteWOW! I just loved this game back when it was released (I played this on Atari ST a lot)
ReplyDeleteGreat game. The original version was like Rastan but a bit slower. The graphics of the game really made it stand out but there was definitely some room for improvements. I would've liked to see an AGA version with some enhancements, speed tweaks, music and fx together. Perhaps this might even be a template for that?
ReplyDeleteA good game for sure and i played it on Amiga in 1990 but sfx and music on the same time were present already,at least on ST.The Amiga version was only a rushed port,sadly.
