Description

Originally known as Hardcore, this ININ Gem was developed in the early 1990s. As the world shifted towards the new generation of gaming consoles, Hardcore’s release was canceled and the game was lost forever… until now! After 25 long years, ININ, DICE and Strictly Limited came together to bring this gem back for retro gaming fans under the new name, Ultracore!

Ultracore is an authentic Run ‘n Gun game—a true love letter to classic 2D action games with elaborate stage design, tons of secrets to discover, and many mid- and end-bosses. Collect coins to acquire items and new weapons, delve into the original synthwave soundtrack and fall (back) in love with the retro pixel graphics.

• Frantic Blast Processing Gameplay!

• Five large stages with challenging boss fights!

• Collect new weapons and points to upgrade!

• Modern Twin Stick Controls!

• Optional New Synthwave Soundtrack!

Not only is Ultracore an unearthed and beloved passion project, it’s an action-packed experience that takes the classic run ‘n gun 16-bit gaming to the next level… and beyond.
