Ikki Unite Is Making a Comeback
Here is another blast from the past! Plug in Digital and SUNSOFT are thrilled to announce the release date of the Nintendo Switch version of Ikki Unite. This iconic bad game will be making its entrance on Switch this April 18th. The game is based on the original “Ikki” (also known as Boomerang and Farmers Rebellion in Western countries ).
Ikki Unite is not merely a game but rather a 16-player online cooperative adventure that celebrates unity, cooperation, and strategy. You will face off against a locust plague and tax collectors threatening your very existence. Team up with your friends in this erratic multiplayer bullet hell, with a tiny bit of roguelite mechanics.
You will dive inside a world where every player’s contribution matters to defeat a series of mighty bosses. Step inside the shoes of one of the four archetypes: Explorers, Attackers, Enhancers, and Healers. The roguelite elements also make sure every playthrough is unique and fresh.
Once regarded as the “worst game of the 1980s,” the game returns with a playful smirk and a daring homage to its roots. Amidst a sea of AAA titles clamoring for attention, the game fearlessly stakes its claim as the ultimate AAAAA experience of the year, poised to leave an indelible mark that challenges the very essence of gaming’s existence without it.
Ikki Unite is ready to defy all expectations and provoke laughter. Or maybe become the favorite “horde survivor” of all the gamers out there.
