Six Miles Under - A post-apocalyptic underground 2D brawler
Talk about eternal darkness, the underground edition.
There ain´t exactly a all time low of post-apocalyptic games at the moment. But then again, i can´t say that i have seen (or played) that many post-apocalyptic titles that takes place in a underground city. But that´s exactly the case with Looney Bin Studios 2D action/platformer "Six Miles Under".
You (the player) play as Preston Trencher. An enforcer that just happens to have a bounty on his name (he was set-up). So Preston will do anything in his power to clear his name. But the time is running out fast. So some old fashioned revenge will do just fine.
And revenge works pretty well six miles under the ground (obviously). IF Six Miles Under will be able to reach it´s £20,000 Kickstarter goal that is. But if that´s the case. Then there will be a PC, MAC and Linux release in May next year (which will be followed by a Wii U release shortly after).
And oh! Did i mention that Six Miles Under has been given thumbs up on Steam Greenlight? ;)
