One of our favourite retro publishers, Ratalaika Games, has announced that Beaked Buccaneer is now available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4, priced at $4.99. The game centers around an ambitious parrot who is in search of his own treasures and adventures to become a true pirate, the Beaked Buccaneer. This swashbuckling bird has all the moves and weaponry to take down any enemy that stands between him and his treasure.
In Beaked Buccanneer, players will explore four different pirate-themed worlds with alternative paths and defeat the infamous Captain Smelly and his nefarious crew. From the trailer, we can see that Beaked Buccaneer will use elements from classic platformers and action titles in a Metroidvania-style. There are also upgrades to unlock for new abilities and more powerful weapons.
The game has been developed by lightUP and joins the ever-growing stable of budget pixel art titles that Ratalaika Games is known for releasing. Budget retro fans may also be interested in checking out another Ratalaika Games title, Piggly Pagly Boom, which we recently played.
