Innovative Musketeer vs zombies Contra-like ‘Heidelberg 1693’ launches digitally & physically on November 18th
RED ART GAMES announced that Heidelberg 1693 will be launching digitally on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, and physically on Switch, PS5 and PS4 on November 18th.
Set in the Sturmfront - The Mutant War universe, Heidelberg 1693 is a gory 2D Contra-like game developed by Andrade Games and ported to consoles by Red Art Games.
Heidelberg 1693 is a challenging 2D Action platformer set in a zombie-infested version of 17th century Germany in which the player takes control of one of French King Louis XIV’s famous musketeers. The game adds a layer of tactical combat to the genre by introducing the weapon of choice of musketeers: the musket. Players will be able to fire one powerful - and very effective- musket shot at a time. The weapon must be used wisely because of its long reset time though. Heidelberg 1693 tells its somber story - featuring real locations and historical figures - across multiple paths and endings.
Heidelberg 1693 features:
- Classic 2D action platformer
- Story set in a 17th-century uchronia
- Unique musket mechanic adds a layer of strategy to the action
- Featuring authentic locations and historical figures
- Beautifully animated sprites
- Animated cutscenes inspired by silent era films
- Multiple endings
On Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Heidelberg 1693 will cost €14.99/$14.99/£13.49 digitally. To celebrate the game’s upcoming release, players who pre-order the game digitally on Nintendo Switch or Xbox One between November 11th and November 17th at 11:59 PM will receive a 10% discount.
Heidelberg 1693 will be released for console on November 18, 2022 along with the physical editions for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 & Nintendo Switch!
