Run, jump, sneak, and hack your way through an expansive mystery!
From the renowned development studio WayForward Technologies, Inc.
(Shantae, River City Girls, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp) comes
Yars Rising, a 2D action adventure exploration of one of Atari's
richest, and best known classic titles.
In WayForward's experienced hands, the Yars franchise becomes an
expansive mystery solved through 2D platforming action. Take
control of the young hacker Emi Kimura, who is hired by a
mysterious patron to infiltrate the shadowy QoTech corporation.
Run, jump, sneak, and hack your way through challenges as you
slowly unravel a complex secret shrouded in intrigue.
Emi grows in power throughout her adventure, allowing her to
retrace her steps and reach previously inaccessible and secret
areas. Her evolving hacking skills are critical to solving
stimulating minigames that reference the innovative gameplay from
the Atari 2600 title Yars' Revenge.
The deeper into the QoTech facilities Emi ventures, the more
expansive the sci-fi mystery becomes. A colorful cast of hacker
allies help Emi discover her connection to a distant alien race and
unlock powers unlike anything she could have imagined.
Yars Rising celebrates the Yars franchise in WayForward's distinct
style of anime art, humor, retro game mechanics and storytelling
virtuosity.
2D Platforming Action: Emi must jump, blast and sneak her way
past waves of robotic and alien enemies. Her latent powers are
revealed as the game progresses, granting her wild augments and
biohacks that let her reach previously inaccessible areas. A
sprawling, interconnected map allows for hours of exploration
Sci-Fi Intrigue: A seemingly bottomless mystery takes Emi from
drab office buildings into hidden underground labs, and even to
the farthest reaches of space as she uncovers the dark truth
behind the QoTech corporation and discovers her own personal
connection to an alien race
Challenging Retro Minigames: A series of hacking minigames pay
homage to the original Yars' Revenge, which fans love for its
top-down, quick twitch gameplay
Stealth Traversal: Emi can't always shoot or jump her way out of
a jam - tense sections of stealth gameplay force her to duck into
the shadows to hide from relentless security guards
Classic WayForward Aesthetics: With fantastically rendered 3D
environments and an ensemble of captivating characters, the
WayForward team brings Emi's story to life as only they can
