Future Knight Mixes Game & Watch Vibes With Run‑And‑Gun Chaos

Picture this: a classic Game & Watch screen gone full‑metal‑jacket, blasting away with laser‑fire and absurdly goofy physics. That’s Future Knight, the newest “LCD Neo‑Retro” shooter from Aeternum Game Studios (Aeterna Noctis) and Studio Koba (Narita Boy).
You play as a chrome‑clad knight trapped inside a calculator‑style LCD display, racing against an eight‑hour apocalypse clock. Each hour spawns its own biome—think monochrome‑plus landscapes where ink blots replace pixels and alarm‑clock Kaiju serve as bosses. The twist? You can instantly swap between the armored Future Knight and his gooey sidekick Two More, chaining “lethal choreographies” that feel half ballet, half bullet‑hell.
Mechanically it’s more than a nostalgic gimmick: horizontal and vertical scrolling, physics‑driven set pieces, and dual‑character synergy keep the action fresh. The story leans into dark humor—cult‑like pyramid schemes and memory‑wiping villains add a tongue‑in‑cheek flavor.
Heads up, gamers: it’s coming to PC and consoles (no actual LCD hardware required) and is already wishlisted on Steam. If you love retro aesthetics with modern chaos, this one’s worth the click.
