Planet Zarda had long forgotten the horrors of war and instability. Its inhabitants from its provinces have united under one banner in the name of peace and have crafted a world utopia. Centuries of peace have lead to partial disarmament and have long done away with improving or maintaining their military power.

The peace was not to last.

The sudden invasion of the nomadic reptilian invaders known as the Saurian Horde catches the defense force of the planet off guard. They aren't prepared to fight a proper military force that has been fighting for centuries. The objective of this alien menace? To strip bare the planet and ether consume, enslave or eradicate the populace.

During the initial waves of the planetary attack Sil and Saya, our game's protagonists come under attack at an outpost. With their comrades dead and the defense forces in disarray they take the fight to the enemy themselves and reorganize the planet's defense force.

Never Underestimate The Zardans!

Pandemonium Interactive has launched a kickstarter campaign, looking for $30,156, to finish up development on N.U.T.Z., with plans to launch on Steam in 2018 post-crowdfunding.

“Back in 2016 what started off as a dream became reality. We started working on what would become known as N.U.T.Z. In October of 2017 N.U.T.Z. was released to the public in a pre-alpha demo state and has received much interest. Many agree that there is great potential and we intend to not disappoint them. We are taking feedback seriously and working with community involvement to make this game the best it can be. We've still got much to do so this is what you can expect from us. There will be extra playable characters with unique abilities in the future, ready to take on 13 new stages and epic bosses. You'll upgrade your arsenal with armor and weapon parts hidden in the levels. Players will then take all of their upgrades, skill and wit to the final battle, in a direct counter attack against the Saurian Empire, and free the planet.” - Alexander Melchiorre, Owner and Lead Developer

Interested fans can give the playable demo a try, download it on Steam or Gamejolt.

In N.U.T.Z. you'll control one of a few characters that sport unique abilities and a variety of different weapons, and engage enemies around you with free aiming in a 360 radius. We currently support both mouse-keyboard and gamepad-controller setups. The game will feature collectible upgrades for weapons and armor that are located throughout the world of Zarda. They will enhance the characters abilities and enable them to access areas in previous levels that they could not and unlock new skills.

The final game will present non-linear level progression. After completing some of the starting stages the player will have the freedom of choice to choose where you want to go similar to the overworld style in games like Shovel knight.

Each character has a unique set of abilities that differentiate their playstyle from each other. Saya the Fox is a very melee and is speed oriented, whereas Sil the Squirrel is more focused on range combat and heavy weapons.

Key Features Planned (upon successful crowdfunding):

• New game +, where a new challenge awaits you
• Boss Rush mode
• In-game vehicles to take control of.
• Fully voiced characters and dialogue.
• Co-op and verses multiplayer (local and internet)
• Ports to consoles like the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One
• Localizations to different languages
