Pixel art action RPG Ocean’s Heart announced for PC
From the creator of Zelda-like Bloodborne tribute Yarntown.
Publisher Nordcurrent and developer Max Mraz, creator of the Zelda-like Bloodborne tribute Yarntown, have announced Ocean’s Heart, a pixel art action RPG coming to PC via Steam in early 2021. It will support English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese language options.
“Ocean’s Heart draws inspiration from the captivating 90s adventure RPGs that so many of us grew up with, but with a more intricate storyline than many of the classics featured,” said Nordcurrent head of marketing Arturas Surgutanovas in a press release. “The game aims to both pay homage to the greatness of the originals while still advancing the genre through the many sidequests, puzzles, upgrades, bosses, and dungeons. If you feel nostalgia for action RPG or action adventure games that focus on exploration, then Ocean’s Heart is for you!”
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
