PixelPop 2087

PixelPop 2087 is a 2D action game with rogue-lite elements. It is set in a world where magic and technology are closely linked and the spirit of the 1980s remains strong. In the story, a wizard has kidnapped the player’s partner to carry out a ritual that would drain all colour from the world. The player must enter his fortress, which is protected by room-shifting magic, minions and bosses, in order to rescue them.

The dungeon layout changes with every run. Players search each room for hidden keys and progress to the next floor by defeating the boss that guards the elevator key. Enemies draw on 1980s pop culture, and their danger varies, with groups posing a greater threat when they appear together. Players can fight their way through or avoid combat where possible by using cover and special abilities.

Two starting characters are available, each with a different combat style. Elly uses melee weapons for fast close-range combat and has an evasive dash. Johnny favours firearms and distance, and uses an energy shield to block incoming attacks. Alongside Story Mode, the game includes an Arena Mode, where players survive endless waves of enemies and can combine melee weapons and firearms freely.
