Klaus Lee – Thunderballs is a new retro-styled platform adventure title from developer Assemble Entertainment. The independent game studio, based in Wiesbaden, Germany, was founded in 2016 by industry veteran Stefan Marcinek. The studio is known for critically acclaimed indie hits such as Sticky Business, Roadwarden, Lacuna, and Asgard’s Fall. Klaus Lee – Thunderballs has been published by NUKKLEAR, also based in Germany.
The game is out today on Steam, GOG, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, priced at €12.99 with an early bird discount on some.
