If you’ve been on the lookout for another retro-inspired platformer then Panzer Paladin may be one you’ll want to check out.

Tribute Games, the studio behind the title as well as other Switch titles such as Flinthook, have revealed that their latest retro-inspired outing will be dropping on the eShop on 21 July.

As for what you can expect from the game, here’s an excerpt from the game’s Steam page:

Panzer Paladin is an action-platformer game featuring intuitive swordplay mechanics. The protagonist pilots a power armor called Paladin to fight giant demons by using their own weapons against them.
The key components of the swordplay mechanic includes the ability to equip and use any weapon dropped by defeated enemies, high versus low attacking and blocking, a rock-paper-scissor weapon type system that grants attack bonuses, and the ability to cast spells by breaking weapons.

There’s also a semi-non-linear approach to progession, with players able to tackle the first 10 stages in any order they like.

Check out the trailer below and let us know down in the comments if this seems like your cup of tea!
