Pac-Man World is Back

Earlier this year, gamers got a taste of multiple Pac classics with Pac-Man Museum+. With that, fans made it clear that there was one particular Pac-Man classic they wanted to see next – Pac-Man World Re-Pac. Well, we’ve delivered and it’s available now!

Originally released in 1999, Pac-Man World: 20th Anniversary was Pac-Man’s first 3D platforming adventure, using a variety of unique abilities on a quest to rescue his kidnapped family from the dastardly Pac-imposter, Toc-Man, and the Ghosts! Pac-Man World Re-Pac brings a fresh coat of current-gen paint to Pac-Man’s athletic quest that we think existing and new fans alike will enjoy!

I spoke with the game’s producer to understand a bit more about what it took to bring Pac-Man World Re-Pac to Xbox.

Please introduce yourself and let us know a little bit about your role on the game team.

My name is Yuji Yoshii from Bandai Namco Entertainment. I am the producer of Pac-Man World Re-Pac and I am in charge of the entire production process, from planning to completion. I have been involved in the production of the Pac-Man series since Pac-Man Museum+.

Pac-Man fans have been requesting the return of Pac-Man World for quite some time, so congratulations on bringing back such a beloved game!

We are honored to have so many fans celebrate the return of Pac-Man World.

Pac-Man World Re-Pac celebrates Pac-Man’s legacy by remaking a long-requested fan favorite game. What elements from the original Pac-Man World inspired the game team when first approaching their work on the Re-Pac?

Pac-Man World was released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pac-Man and is the first 3D action platformer in the series. In the original (2D maze)  Pac-Man, his goal was to run away from ghosts and eat dots, but in the 3D setting of Pac-Man World,  Pac-Man is free to run around in 3D space, with techniques at his disposal like Jumping, the Butt Bounce, and the Rev Roll. We set out to revive this  Pac-Man action with modern graphics and technology.

Production started some time before the game was announced; how long was the overall production timeline and how did it feel when the title was finally revealed to the world?

We started development of this title in 2020 and the game has been in production for about two years. Our team repeatedly discussed the finished image of the remake during the planning stage, so development proceeded relatively smoothly. It has been 23 years since the release of the original version, but we have been very aware of the requests from fans for the return of Pac-Man World for so many years, so we are incredibly pleased that we are finally able to answer them.

For many fans who are not familiar with the game development process, what are the first steps when it comes to remastering a fan-favorite and what were you most excited to work on?

We believe that remakes and remasters are made possible by the passionate requests from the fans, so we carefully consider whether we can provide an original game experience that will not betray their expectations. We carefully consider this question at the beginning of the process. On the other hand, the gameplay that players demand is changing with the times. We need to consider not only whether we can recreate the original, but also whether we can update the game in a way that is in line with the times.

In Re-Pac, Pac-Man and the Ghosts are more vibrant than ever. What inspired their current look and the overall graphical style of the game as you brought it to current generation hardware?

Graphical updates were one of the major themes of Re-Pac. We made adjustments to create a more modern Pac-Man design while maintaining the comic book style that the Pac-Man universe has. Also, by carefully depicting the natural objects and buildings in each stage with the new look, we were also able to bring Ghost Island vividly back to life.

The “loop” of the original Pac-Man World featuring action-platforming mechanics with a mix of puzzle solving to reach the goal of each stage is still fun today. What makes this style of gameplay intriguing when it comes to Pac-Man?

I think the “loop” in Pac-Man World works very well with Pac-Man. It is great fun to see Pac-Man, with his round yellow body, using very fun, Pac-Man-like actions such as Butt Bounce, Rev Roll, Pac-Dot Attack, etc., and solving puzzles.

In Pac-Man World Re-Pac, when compared to the original, the enemies move a little bit differently, there are enhancements to the UI, and the levels can be approached by the player in a new way due to the widened field of view. How did you approach making these and other enhancements for Pac-Man World Re-Pac while making sure you stayed true to the feel of the original?

In addition to the improved graphics, many improvements have been made to the gameplay of Re-Pac. We have made detailed adjustments to stages where players in the original would get lost, to actions that were difficult to control, and to enemies and gimmicks that were difficult to understand.

The original Pac-Man World gave us the butt-bounce, rev-roll, and Pac-Dot Attack abilities. Re-Pac includes these abilities and adds a new hover-jump to Pac-Man’s move set as well as the ability to become Mega Pac-Man. Can you tell us a little bit about what inspired this and your experience giving Pac-Man these new abilities?

In Re-Pac, we have added these two new elements to evolve the game into a more playable and entertaining modern action game. Hover Jump is useful for long distance jumps and adjusting your fall; eating Power Pellets will turn you into a Mega Pac-Man to attack the ghosts.

Are there any specific graphical updates that you’d like to point out?

In the factory area, burning pipes that glow red block Pac-Man’s path. We would love for you to check out how we show steam blowing out of these pipes and see the difference from the original version in the comparison trailer.

The original Pac-Man World series is known for its catchy soundtrack. Can you tell us about the process of remaking the game’s iconic musical themes? And are there any specific songs that the game team is particularly fond of?

We knew that many fans also have strong feelings about the soundtrack of Pac-Man World, so we used the original music for most of the stages and title screens. We hope that people will feel the nostalgia from both the music and the visuals. We all like the title screen music. It is a wonderful jazz-style song that is perfect for the start of the adventure that is about to begin.

Are there any fun, hidden “easter eggs” or other easy-to-miss things in the game that gamers should watch out for as they play through Ghost Island?

All stages (except “Buccaneer Beach” and each area’s boss battle stage) have the six letters “P,” “A,” “C,” “M”, “A”, and “N” that are hidden throughout them. If you collect them all, you can challenge a special bonus stage, so please try to find them!

Pac-Man has been a global icon for over 40 years. Why do you think Pac-Man resonates with so many people?

Pac-Man debuted as an arcade game in 1980 and has been enjoyed around the world for more than 40 years. I think this is because Pac-Man is a simple game that anyone can play, and the adorable shape and movements of the yellow, round-bodied Pac-Man eagerly gobbling everything up have won the hearts of many people. I think this “Pac-Man-ness” is very important for the franchise.

Pac-Man’s historical impact and continued staying power in the world of video games is undeniable. It’s great to add such a fun filled game to the pantheon of Pac-Man. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions today!

Thank you very much!

Gunfire Reborn At gamescom 2022

Gunfire Reborn is headed to gamescom, the largest gaming convention in the world!

Held at the massive Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany, the show hosts 270,000 attendees and more than 1000 exhibitors, it’s a gaming event like no other. It’s the place to be for the latest news and hands-on demos of the latest games.

It’s the only show big enough to contain the non-stop action of Gunfire Reborn and its adorable heroes!

If you’re one of the show’s 270,000 attendees, grab your squad and come to the Xbox Booth located in Hall 8. We’ll have demo stations set up to play Gunfire Reborn for the first time ever on Xbox. It’s important to bring your crew because we’ll be set up for Co-op!

Gunfire Reborn Screenshot

Co-op Action


Co-op takes the frenetic fun of Gunfire and ramps it up! 2 to 4 players can join a game with friends or through a public lobby. Once you’re in the game, you will work together to complete each random level and defeat the enemies.

Teaming up means you’ll have extra firepower, but that won’t make your adventure easier. To make sure you have a challenge, enemies will get more health, more armor, and more shields. The more players that join your group, the higher enemy stats will become!

Gunfire Reborn Screenshot

Randomized Replayability


Gunfire is a level-based adventure game featuring FPS action, roguelite gameplay, and RPG elements. You’ll play as one of six furry heroes, each with their own unique skills and attacks. As you play though each level, you’ll be faced with challenging enemies and collect powerful loot. The more you play, the more powerful you will become!

It’s going to be a frenzy of randomized levels, tons of enemies, teamwork, and lots of respawns. We can’t wait to show it to you.

Can’t make it to the show? Don’t worry. Gunfire Reborn will be available with Game Pass on October 27! Stay tuned for more news!

The Intense and Minimalistic Action of Flat Heroes Lands on Xbox This August

Hey all! We are Parallel Circles — a massively small studio — and we are about to bring our very first game to Xbox on August 24.

The last few years have been a bit of a rollercoaster for us. After working in AAA development for quite some time we decided to take a leap and create something new and fresh. We established our own two-person indie studio, Parallel Circles, and started working on our dream project: a highly polished platforming game with tight controls and a lot of care put into game-feel, to be played on your own or enjoyed with your friends and family.

This is how Flat Heroes came into being and now we are especially proud to finally launch it on Xbox. We’ve put a lot of love, passion, and work into this project so we hope you will enjoy it as much as we did creating it.

So what is Flat Heroes? Flat Heroes is a game starring a few minimalistic heroes trying to survive wave after wave of ever-changing enemies. It is fast paced, it is intense, it is chaotic, and it is a lot of fun. Especially if you are sharing a play session with your friends. There will be a lot of shouting, quite some challenge and a lot of things to overcome, you have our word on that.

screenshot

Since this is our tiny studio’s very first game, we tried to include everything we like in games ourselves. If we had to describe our dream game through gameplay, we would definitely show you Flat Heroes. It’s also jam-packed with content: different single player and multiplayer modes, over 300 handcrafted levels and many epic boss battles, versus modes, and even infinite levels to prove your skills and add your scores in the leaderboards. We put all our passion for games into this indie gem.

screenshot

Up to this point, it’s been a uniquely thrilling experience to found our very own studio, making a game we are passionate about, showing it to people around the world at events and festivals and getting so much great and constructive feedback. Seeing how people react so positively to something you’ve made has been magical to us, so we wanted to bring it to as many players as possible. This is why we’ve decided to bring it to Xbox and its loving fan base very soon.

screenshot

Finally, and before we forget, we know Flat Heroes is hard to imagine with just words and images of minimalistic cubes jumping around, so we’ve put together a free demo for you to try by yourself or with some friends and see if it’s up your alley!

Xbox Play Anywhere

Flat Heroes

$9.99 $7.99

When was the last time you felt like a hero? Flat Heroes rewards you with that good old feeling of surviving impossible levels alongside a smooth modern design with a minimalist style. With a simple set of movements — Run. Jump. Dash. Attack. — and delightful controls, Flat Heroes encourages you to stylishly navigate and survive over 300 handcrafted levels, destroy the most epic bosses around and truly be the two-dimensional hero (or heroes!) you’ve always dreamed you could be. Easy to learn and hard to master; it is easy to pick up and even easier to learn, but don’t let that fool you! During your adventure you will face increasingly difficult challenges that will require you to master the game’s controls on the journey to becoming a true Hero. And while Flat Heroes comes along with a very minimalistic art style, it’s spiced up with stunning effects making it one truly unique eye candy experience. Got stuck in the campaign or want to survive longer in the challenge modes? Too intense for you to take on alone? Let your friends join the party; Flat Heroes is the perfect couch co-op experience! Invite a few friends, get some pizza and overcome the challenges together!

Realm Royale Is Now Reforged

Realm Royale is back and better than ever in Realm Royale Reforged! Years after its seemingly final update, the Realm Royale community continued to support and rally behind the game — never giving up hope that a renaissance was on the horizon. That passion has not been in vain, as Realm is back, bringing the same game veterans know and love while introducing exciting, new elements that fans old and new will enjoy.

Over the course of the past few months, our small team of passionate Realm developers have been working hard at the forge to give players a fresh, new experience and it’s time to showcase what you can expect from our team in our first update!


In A Class All Your Own


Classes are a core facet of gameplay in Realm Royale. Each class has its own unique advantages that help support the way you play. Choosing and mastering your class is key to claiming victory and in Realm Royale Reforged, we’ve revamped the class system to give players meaningful class identity. Some abilities and weapons are now specific to your class, giving players more flexibility into how they can shape their gameplay. Hunters can swing through the air using their grappling hook while Mages can wield the power of fire (or ice!) to devastate their foes. If you need to find some class-specific loot, be on the lookout for new Class Chests, which are guaranteed to always contain abilities or weapons that only your chosen class can equip.

Armor Up


Back by popular demand, armor has returned to the Realm once more, replacing the previous rune system. Armor comes in varying rarities and can be looted, equipped and reforged during gameplay. Each piece of armor you equip will grant you unique buffs, such as moving faster or regenerating health. Armor up to your heart’s content and claim the Crown Royale!


New Abilities and Weapons


In addition to Class Uniqueness and Armor making a comeback, the development team has been hard at work crafting new abilities and weapons designed to make gameplay more exciting and engaging. Fool enemies as an Assassin with the new Decoy ability or summon the new Fireball ability as a Mage to blaze your way to a flawless victory. If you want to stick to the basics, equip the new universal Auto Sniper Rifle and target your enemies one by one. The pathways to victory are endless in Realm Royale Reforged.

Naraka: Bladepoint Rolls Out Huge Updates Including a New Map and Hero

Summary

  • Brand new map, Holoroth, is available to players starting today.
  • A new hero joins the roster, Ziping Yin, a female healer.
  • To celebrate the game’s anniversary, for a limited time players who log in will receive two free legendary skins.

It’s now a year since Naraka: Bladepoint‘s release on PC and its popularity continues to grow; particularly since its launch on Xbox Series X|S and with Xbox Game Pass.

Apart from Naraka’s thrilling melee-based battles, with combatants utilizing parkour to navigate terrain — and outmaneuver opponents — its success owes much to regular content drops. Starting today, players will finally be able to explore and fight on Holoroth, Naraka: Bladepoint’s newest map. With an emphasis on verticality, skydive down from towers and zip across cities, before making your enemies bow down to the might of your arsenal and fighting skills.

Naraka: Bladepoint Screenshot

Holoroth’s contrast between extreme heat and cold will leave you sweating — or shivering — in the midst of your battles. Environmental dangers loom around every corner of the map, so make sure to stay focussed as you traverse the diverse landscape.

Holoroth is a large and unforgiving map, presenting a harsh challenge, even for seasoned players. So the addition of Ziping Yin, a female healer, will be a welcome one; as she joins Naraka’s roster for the anniversary event. Ziping Yin’s skillset is geared towards Naraka: Bladepoint‘s newest players.

Naraka: Bladepoint Key Art

While Ziping Yin is a healer, she also boasts some kick-ass moves and should quickly become a favorite amongst new and old players alike. As we look forward to the next year of Naraka: Bladepoint content, the development team’s focus will be making the game more accessible for newer players by lowering the learning curve.

Following a year of developing Naraka, the team at 24 entertainment are aiming to enrich the in-game experience by adding more objects, weather systems, consumables, and NPCs across Naraka: Bladepoint’s maps.

You can celebrate Naraka: Bladepoint’s anniversary by logging in during the anniversary event; where you will receive free Duel Blades Legendary and Viper Ning skins. Naraka is also running a a 50% discount event for a limited time through August 29.

Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone: Last Stand Launches August 24

Summary

  • Become a Call of Duty villain through Task Force Tyrants, featuring Raul Menendez, Khaled Al-Asad, Gabriel T. Rorke, and the merciless He “Seraph” Zhen-Zhen.
  • Help stop the chaos or unleash it further on Caldera in Operation: Last Call and pick your side in the Heroes vs. Villains Community Event. Navigate the island’s Peak transformed through volcanic activity.
  • Deploy to two new Multiplayer maps and continue the Dark Aether saga in the round-based Vanguard Zombies finale, “The Archon.”

Legends never die. Be a hero or become a villain in Last Stand, the fifth and final season of Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone.

Caldera’s Peak is ready to rumble — will you wreak havoc or defend the island at all costs? Pick your side in the Heroes vs. Villains Community Event, deploy to two new Multiplayer maps, and continue the Dark Aether saga in the latest round-based Zombies map, “The Archon.”

Last Stand launches August 24 on Xbox. Read on for news concerning all the major updates coming to Warzone, Multiplayer, and Zombies.


Volcanic Activity at Caldera


Volcanic activity threatens the stability of Caldera’s Peak, affecting weather and lighting across both Caldera and Rebirth Island.

Call of Duty - Last Stand

Peak — Volcanic POI: Navigate the transformed Peak as lava pours down its slopes in all modes and blasts into the sky during Operation: Last Call. Watch your step.

New Gulag: Fight for redeployment in the new volcanic-themed Gulag. Best your opponent in this map inspired by an old favorite and get another shot at securing victory.

Doomsday Station: Discover this seismic device found within Caldera’s primary Battle Royale game mode. Trigger the device and defend against the incoming soldiers to get rewarded with powerful items and a unique watch cosmetic for your Operator.

Supply Box UAV: Activate the new Supply Box UAV Killstreak to mark nearby unopened Supply Boxes on the Map for around 15 seconds. Find the Supply Box UAV in Supply Boxes or purchase one at a Buy Station.

Personal Supply Box: Track down this extremely rare crate with the assistance of the Supply Box UAV to acquire a massive XP boost and your favorite Loadout weapons in Warzone.

Rage Serum: This Field Upgrade allows you to become violently unstable, resulting in a viciously effective boost to your close-quarters fighting. Test subjects were shown to have superior melee damage, increased lunge distance, and enhanced stun power while fighting with melee weapons or fists. However, defensive forces have confirmed that while affected by Rage Serum, an Operator becomes louder, and seems to recoil with more confusion while stunned or flashed.


Set or Defuse Bombs in Operation: Last Call


Call of Duty - Last Stand

Operation: Last Call (Launch): Defend Caldera by defusing bombs around the island or sabotage it by detonating the explosives at designated bomb sites. Witness two different outcomes based on match events.

Lava Rocks: Lava Rocks are crashing into Caldera, and no one is safe from their volcanic fumes. Stay out of the landing zone to survive in this public event within Operation: Last Call. Check the Volcano Meter for a visual representation of current activity.


Pick Your Side in Heroes vs. Villains


Call of Duty - Last Stand

Take a stand in Season Five’s Heroes vs. Villains Community Event. Collect Villain or Hero Tokens in all game modes by eliminating opponents and scavenging Supply Boxes; then enjoy a discount for Faction Bundles at the Buy Station. Any time you purchase a Faction Bundle, you’ll get a discount on one other item across all Buy Stations.

The winning team’s unique Weapon Blueprint will be given to everyone following the event, including the chance to earn other exclusive event-related rewards.

Expect more with the midseason update, including Resurgence Supreme on Rebirth Island, where squads of four drop in with the best weapons and with respawning enabled. Earn the best prizes for winning the match with over 15 eliminations.


Deploy to Two New Multiplayer Maps


Beheaded (Launch): Battle under the neon lights outside famed Big Apple establishment, or take up position in Lady Liberty’s fallen head, race through her arms, and dash through the subway to flank your enemies.

Call of Duty - Last Stand

Fortress (In-Season): Deploy to the Mediterranean in this medium-sized map featuring close-quarters interiors with rooftop access. Fight in a maritime graveyard, where ship remains litter the desert landscape. The eponymous fortress incorporates an old ship into its own design, creating a varied landscape to be exploited by savvy Operators.

Call of Duty - Last Stand

Continue the Dark Aether Saga in “The Archon”


From a cursed desert battlefield to the heart of the Dark Aether: pass the Trials, confront the Construct, and defeat the Archon in the epic conclusion of Vanguard Zombies. Complete new quests and survive the rounds by utilizing the Altar of Covenants, Tome of Rituals, Perk Fountains, and the Pack-a-Punch machine to prepare for a larger-than-life final battle with Kortifex the Deathless.


New Battle Pass, New Weapons


The Last Stand Battle Pass delivers 100 Tiers of new content, including two new free weapons.

  • EX1: This prototype Energy Rifle forgoes traditional ballistics in favor of a customizable battery system used to power its attacks. Effective at long range, the weapon requires a cooling off period after depleting its charge capacity.
  • RA 225: This lightweight SMG boasts a fast fire rate and quick handling, perfect for shredding enemies in close to midrange battles. Through Gunsmith, customize it for greater power, handling, accuracy, or a balance of the three.

Purchase the Last Stand Battle Pass to get Task Force Tyrants Operator Raul Menendez instantly at Tier 0. Expect more villains to appear in the Store throughout the season.

Earn three more weapons — the Valois Revolver, BP50, and Lienna 57 — by completing their in-game challenges or by purchasing their corresponding Store Bundles later in the season.


Last Stand Launches August 24


It’s good to be bad. Enjoy major updates across Warzone, Multiplayer, and Zombies when Last Stand arrives on Xbox on August 24.

Top Tips for Survival in Golf Purgatory as Cursed to Golf Swings onto Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S Today

Hey everyone, I’m Liam Edwards, the creator and Game Director of Cursed to Golf at Chuhai Labs. With our game out on the Microsoft Store today for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, I thought I’d offer up my top tips to help master the art of supernatural golf. The road to ascension is tough but heed my guidance, and you may just be able to conquer the diabolical course that awaits you in Golf Purgatory.

screenshot

You Spin Me Right Round

Mastering the spin mechanic is crucial to conquering Golf Purgatory. The laws of physics work a little differently in the astral plane and ball spin has multiple benefits and can be deployed in different scenarios. At a basic level, as your ball bounces, adding spin will control its direction. Chipping the ball on approach to the flagpole? Perhaps directing its bounce with some top spin will land it in the hole, saving you an extra shot. Bouncing off a wall littered with hazards close by? Backspin may be your best friend as it will make the ball drop straight down. Need to stop a ball dead in its tracks but have no Lead Weight or Timestop cards left? Heavy backspin on first bounce followed by careful counter-spin on subsequent short bounces can allow for pin pixel-point accurate ball placement. When you’ve mastered the ball spin, your tactical options in any situation will open up considerably!

In a Bind…er

Ace Cards are fun to use, right? Yes! However, you may want to hold on to some of the rarer ones every now and then. Those Portal cards don’t come around too often! Stop by the Eterni-Tee on your run and bank your most powerful cards in the Card Binder. This Card Binder has magic powers that even the roguelike looping curse of Golf Purgatory cannot beat. When you die and start a fresh run, any cards that you have stored in the binder will still be there, so you can take them out when the time is right. A pro tip is to do a few dummy runs where you build up a killer deck in the Card Binder, ready for your true go at conquering the course. As you progress into the two latter biomes – The Caves and Hell – you’ll need all the high-powered Ace Cards you can get, trust me.

Who Needs Practice?

The Practice Shot card is deceptively useful. Yes, of course you can use it as a free shot to test out whether or not your fancy shot idea will work. However, more importantly the Practice Shot doesn’t just reverse everything you do before you take your ‘real’ shot. The world state stays the same after a Practice Shot is taken. Therefore, it can be used to safely detonate TNT boxes or hit Shot Idols that are away from your chosen path to the hole. Using Practice Shots smartly can be a great way of netting you extra shots or opening up new shortcuts without sacrificing your precious shot counter.

screenshot

No Problems, Only Solutions Or It’s Super Effective!

Elemental Balls are powerful Ace Cards with a load of cool use cases. The Fire Ball will burn through the bothersome brambles you’ll find littered across The Caves and Hell. Being ensnared by bramble will cost you an extra shot and take you back to your last shot location, so getting caught in them is bad news. On the plus side, they are often blocking or covering up clutch shortcuts. Smashing through that spiky shrub in a blaze of glory is one of the most satisfying feelings you can have in purgatorial golf.

The Ice Ball is a cool (wink) little power-up. As you get further and further through Golf Purgatory, you will be greeted with more and more water hazards… awesome. Hit the water with an Ice Ball and what would have been once a lost ball will become a chilly platform for you to take your next shot from. Water hazards can sometimes lead to great shortcuts or surround the flagpole on either side, so an Ice Ball is always a welcome safety blanket.

Last but not least is the Electro Ball. This thing will send shocking bolts of lightning out at anything it flies past. Detonate TNT boxes, stun bramble vines and smash Shot Idols without even touching them!

screenshot

Unlimited Powerrrrrrrr!

Look, I love all the Ace Cards in Cursed to Golf, after all, I designed them. That said, there are a few that are a little more exotic than others. The Rocket Ball, Drill Ball, Phase Ball and Portals just have more pep than the Mulligan. These powerful abilities are tough to master and easy to mess up. But we’re in Golf Purgatory, a place where high risk grants the potential of high reward. Once unlocked, hone your skills with these cards in the Practice Range. When deployed effectively, these Ace Cards will allow you to reach areas a normal golf swing simply cannot and, if you’re really skilled, you may be able to skip entire sections of a hole.

A Long Way to the Top

So, there you have it, my kind of five top tips to make it out of Golf Purgatory and ascend back to the land of the living. A place you can play… normal golf? It’s not going to be an easy task, but stick with it and maybe, just maybe, you can lift this cumbersome curse.  On behalf of the whole Cursed to Golf team, I want to thank everyone who has helped and encouraged us on our journey to bring Cursed to Golf to you, I hope to see you on the green soon! Please share any screenshots or videos of your adventures in Golf Purgatory with @CursedtoGolf on Twitter!

Cursed to Golf

Thunderful Publishing AB

Cursed to Golf offers a fresh take on the golfing and roguelike subgenres. Make your way through a hole within the PAR Count or your curse will take you back to the beginning of the course! To add to the challenge, these courses don’t just have bunkers and rough spots but are also chock full of mad obstacles like high powered fans, spikes, TNT boxes, teleporters and a whole load more. It’s all par for the course in this twisted take on the classic game! Being cursed to play golf forever in the eternity of Golf Purgatory has its benefits, too! Use Birdie-Eye to catch a view of the whole course and see what trials lie ahead. Par count running low? Luckily, gold and silver Shot Idols are peppered throughout the holes, smashing through them with a cinematic flourish will replenish your shots. Ace Cards will turn the odds back in your favour, channeling your otherworldly powers to manipulate the game in incredible ways. Scattershot, U-Turn, Rocketball, Mulligans are just some of 20+ cards you have up your sleeve to turn the tide back in your favour! Every shot counts! • Explore the golf-themed world and characters of Golf Purgatory
• Precise “Golf-Like” gameplay across a randomly-ordered course in 4 biomes
• Navigate tough dungeon-like holes filled with wacky hazards
• Golf in style using over 20 unique Ace Card power-ups
• Challenge the world in online leaderboards
• 70+ holes will keep you swinging for eternity
