Described by Canadian developer Pascal Bélisle as “an arkanoidvania for the NES”, The Trial of Kharzoid certainly is very different to the usual platformers and puzzlers for the NES we see hitting the crowdfunding road.
So far, the project has hit about a third of the total needed to create a physical cart with several editions available. The game itself can be sampled via the demo on itch.io which will require an NES emulator. The game is 95% finished. According to the Kickstarter info, “all major areas are done but need testing and refining. There are some power-ups to add, some side-quests to finish and the ending story’s graphics to make.”
