I know I’m entering into territory that my respected colleague Ethan Gach has already tread, but I just have to say my piece: Panzer Paladin rocks, and I wanted to do my part as the site’s video gremlin to show this baby in action.
In the video below, I break down why exactly I’m digging this retro platformer. If you’ve never heard of the game, the gist is that it’s a weapon-based platformer in the vein of Megaman and Zelda II: The Legend of Link.
The basic plot: The occult is real, and the world is being invaded by magic weapons from space that seek to destroy the earth as we know it. In the process, several monsters, cryptids and ancient deities have come back, and it’s your job to kick their asses as an android driving a big arse mech.
I’m a huge fan of the combat system that revolves around breakable weapons, the killer soundtrack, as well as the ability to forge custom weapons in the blacksmith mode. Check out this cool sword I made:
really enjoy the ability to create a custom sword in panzer paladin, particularly the ability to set handle height pic.twitter.com/R8jNoCm0SZ

You can pick up Panzer Paladin right now on Nintendo Switch and Steam. I recommend you do, because it’s good as hell, man.
