Fellow gamers, you all may have heard a thing or two about the ?Giana Sisters?. This game is actually quite old (Amiga, Commodore 64), and was originally seen as a Mario clone ? because it pretty much was. They even went as far as to say ?The Brothers are History? on one of the game?s releases. It was easy to miss out on this game, due to obvious legal issues with Nintendo, resulting in the game being pulled off the shelves.
Years later, there would be a DS/Android port. We now have Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams.
Lots of love was put into ?Project Giana? to not just recreate the game, but make something worth playing today. Twisted Sisters is going to be so much more than a Mario clone. I?m a proud early backer of the project, that got funded?successfully?through Kickstarter. Sometime after this got successfully funded and I helped put it out there, I lost track of things for a while. News is, they did indeed get the ?Greenlight? from Steam and it can be pre-ordered here!
As a backer, I had access to a ?Backer Only? preview of the game, which confirmed the fact that I will?thoroughly?enjoy this game, even if I end up dying a lot. Giana is a ?Mario-like? platformer, but more fast paced, and being able to switch between the light and the dark world for both platforming purposes and overall background changes is the most important mechanic about the game, and what I think will drag people in that otherwise are not interested.
Unlike Mario Bros, you are both Giana Sisters?simultaneously and can switch back and forth between the two. Doing this, makes changes to the stage as mentioned above. There?s more to it than the fancy art style you see, which looks great in either world, by the way. Doing this will also change the positioning of platforms, objects, ect, and proper use of this mechanic will make the difference between you getting far and not getting much of anywhere. I streamed the backer preview (much shorter video on just the first boss on the Video Gaming Hard Corps YouTube channel), personally, for about an hour and a half, made lots of dumb mistakes, and learned this REAL QUICK.
I felt I needed to put out another post on this just before release, to show my love for it, and perhaps convince some of you out there that this game is gonna be quite the platformer, and it definitely worth checking out. More details from me personally on this here!
Something else that really helps this game is the music, which also changes when switching between the light and dark worlds. Chris Huelsbeck (original Giana Sisters music guy) teams up with Machinae Supremacy (awesome band that also happens to be my favorite one) to make the tracks for ?Cute? and ?Punk? Giana respectively.
So there you have it. You have a digest of what to expect here, and some links to check out if interested to find out more. From here, I?ll let a video do the talking. Feel free to check out the latest Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams trailer below.
This game officially releases on Tuesday?yes in TWO DAYS! October 23rd, and I will be playing it ? a lot.
