Dusty’s Revenge studio making unofficial Final Fantasy VII 2D side-scroller [Update]

PD Design Studio, developer of Dusty’s Revenge for PC and upcoming Wii U prequel Dusty Raging Fist, is working on a Final Fantasy VII: Re-Imagined 2D side-scroller fan project, the studio revealed.

“We re-imagined how the game would be like if it’s an action game,” reads the description on the official website. ” Classic 2D Side-scrollers, such as Dragons and Dungeons: Chronicles of Mystara, Streets of Rage, etc, came to our minds. We thought about how we can incorporate some of the FFVII game play elements, such as Materia and summoning of Guardian Force into a Hack and Slash genre.”

PD plans to release a playable demo soon. The studio clarifies that “this is a non-profit fan made project, done purely for fun,” and that “in no way does the fans who made the project is seeking to profit from the fan project.”

Update 4:30 p.m.: A demo is now available at the game’s official website.
