About This Game

"That game is called Retro Endurance 8bit. It's on Steam... I think you should give it a look. I think it's really neat. It's really neat."

- Jeff Gerstmann (former editorial director of Gamespot, co-founder of Giant Bomb)

About Retro Endurance 8-bit:

Retro Endurance is a really neat one-of-a-kind retro game collection. There are two main modes to this game: A hardcore challenging arcade mode and a fun casual shuffler story mode. You can choose to play one, the other, or both!

Features:

  • Arcade Mode: Unlock and play challenging full length arcade games, each with its own pixel designed cabinet, multiple custom music jingles, and curated stages. No save states or continues here, just pure skill!

  • Rapid-Fire Shuffler Mode:  Play lightning-fast mini-games, with a unique and fun shuffler/randomizer style story mode with 40 different games in its collection!

  • Diverse Game Genres:  Features a variety of game genres, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

  • Multiplayer Fun: Compete in split-screen local competitive multiplayer mode

  • Daily Challenges: Perform and climb the high-score leaderboard with a new challenge each day.

  • Speed Run Mode: Play against the time as you accumulate score as fast as you possibly can. (Unlocks at level 15 in shuffler mode.)

  • Insane Mode: This mode is insane! In a single game session, you are likely to play almost every single game in this collection. (Unlocks at level 30 in shuffler mode.)

  • Unique shuffle boss battles: Battle the boss while switching between different game genres until you completely deplete its hit points.

  • Special Gameplay Events; As you beat bosses in shuffler mode, you unlock special gameplay events which occasionally appears and changes how you play the game.


About the Shuffler/Randomizer Mode:

The Shuffler/Randomizer Mode plays with a board game like progression. It picks a few randomly chosen games and each game plays for 3 rounds with the 3rd round playing at a faster speed. The main goal of Shuffler Mode is to get as high of a cumulative score as possible between the chosen games. The games are all designed to work well within this mode by keeping the controls and game mechanics simple, yet still be engaging and fun.

The Games:

Retro Endurance 8bit features many games based on favorite classic 8bit games. Games based on popular genres such as platformers, puzzles, brawler, racing, RPG, and much much more! No two games play alike and they are all designed to be fun as possible.

Currently, there are 40 games in Shuffler Mode and 20 full arcade games in Arcade Mode with more being added as the game is updated. New games are first added to Shuffler mode, then eventually added to Arcade Mode as full multi-stage arcade games.

About the game:

  • Solo developed game. Designed, coded, drawn, and composed by zsKnight of ZSNES.

  • Random generation algorithms in nearly all games so they will feel different each time you play them.

  • More games will be added and included free in future updates.

  • Many secrets and easter eggs to be discovered!

Really fun game with lots of microgames that play like variations of classic 8-bit games. Well worth the cheap price. The randomized elements in the games are a big improvement for the genre. It makes the games much more varied, allowing you to play them many times without them feeling repetitive. All the games are well made. While some are slightly better than others, they're all good enough that they're enjoyable to play during a shuffler.

I really enjoyed games like Atari Mania and NES Remix, so I was excited to try Retro Endurance 8bit. It’s well designed and a lot of fun, with plenty of clever twists. The Arkanoid-style game is great, with the ability to fire multiple balls at once, and the shoot-’em-up section is a clear nod to games like Gradius. Best of all for me was when the scrolling beat-’em-up section appeared mid-game. As it's my favourite genre, it was a great surprise to see. I’m looking forward to unlocking more. Really great work from zsKnight.
