This month marks something of a departure for us, as it’s the first time we’re showcasing a brand-new game. Worry not though, for even though Terminator 2D: No Fate is a slick new adaptation of the hit 1991 movie, it plays and feels like a lost Nineties shooter, with a gorgeous pixel-art style that wouldn’t have looked out of place on a Neo Geo or PlayStation. Nick was fortunate enough to be the first person outside of the development process to have a proper hands-on experience with Bitmap Bureau’s new game and his conclusion is that this is a release to be excited about.
It’s a watershed moment, not just for the magazine, but the developers, who have been slowly building up a reputation for creating fast-paced arcade-like games (that typically end up being ported to old-school consoles) and have been rewarded with access to a huge IP. Our exclusive ten-page feature covers the fascinating journey of the studio’s new game and why it’s on track to be an essential play later this year.
