Yars’ Revengeis one of the more interesting Atari 2600 games, and it has seen attempts at revival over the years. Wayforward and Atariare teaming upto take another crack at it withYars Rising, and it doesn’t really resemble the original game much?
Yars Risingis a sidescroller where you play as a blue-haired girl who goes by codename Yar who is fighting against cyberpunk megacorporation Qotech. If you’re savvy, you’ll remember thatYars Revengewas about this weird bug thing that eats through force fields to take down the enigmatic Qotile. you may get the refrences, I’m sure. Even more so when the trailer shows off herYarstattoo and she grows wings, and also there’s, like, a hacking minigame (?) that features the 2600 graphics.
I don’t know. I’d have to see more of the game to really form a solid opinion, but what I see really isn’t doing much for me. That art is okay, the animation is a little jerky, and I don’t see what separates it from other side-scrolling action games.
Yares Risingis coming to the PC and consoles sometime later this year.
