Indie publisher Ratalaika Games is delighted to be working with developer Next Game Level on the distinguished Shoot-em-up Remote Life that is due to be released on May 27th, 2022. Releasing on all console platforms, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox One,  Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch  priced at a remarkable $18.99 / €17.99 / £14.99.

 

Remote Life shows off the amazing expertise and talent of a one-man developer whose creation gives a salute to some of the amazing shooters on the scene. By adding his own touch of magic, with its beautifully rendered 3D backdrops, superbly created enemies, eye-catching and jaw-dropping bosses, this retro-inspired shooter leaves an indelible impression.

Remote Life is a 2D side scrolling space shooter.

The graphics are huge 3D pre-rendered sprites and are gorgeously animated. It is full of cool menacing monsters. The backgrounds look fantastic and fit perfectly to the Alien world. The Bosses look so infinity creepy and scary that the cg-artist had to design them with closed eyes.

There are an immense number of weapons. You are surrounded by such a Brutal-Frenetic-Sci-Fi-Techno-Alien World that is so brilliantly credible that you can almost smell the gasses that the aliens create when you blast them off. The soundtrack fits perfectly to the theme and the pace of the game. This game is is a full immersion in an unseen world.
