August 7, 2024. Today publisher Treasure Boy and developer Kindermann Corp. are delighted to give a shout-out about the worldwide release of Shikon-X today on PC Steam and the Nintendo Switch priced at $12.99 / €10.79 / £10.29. A hard-to-describe – let alone categorize – game in that, as a story-rich drama, intergalactic point-and-click adventure without any actual pointing or clicking, sort of open-ended experience – it offers a lot from that ‘golden age’ – a real blast from the past!
Set out on an epic quest to unravel the mysteries behind the war against humanity. Even when pitted against a cosmic threat, there’s always time for a bit of pinball…
Shikon-X is totally ‘retro’ focused, with its stylized colourful graphics, it harks back to the good old 8-bit days but offers challenges and immersive gameplay in a wild, whacky, moreish way!
- Streamlined ‘point-and-click’ experience without the pointing and clicking
- Gameplay designed with approachability in mind
- Intergalactic adventure inspired by 80s and 90s anime (the best kind!)
- Arcade mini-games that help drive the narrative forward
