Zombies Ate My Neighbors fans looking for a modern equivalent, Mega Cat Studios and publisher 8 Bit Legit have a little something for you in Lethal Wedding. A top-down shooter inspired by 80s action cinema and the LucasArts classic will be coming to Steam, in addition to Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (seriously). The physical edition launches on Kickstarter on June 2nd.
When a drug ring of criminal clowns crashes a bachelor party and kidnaps the groom-to-be, it’s up to the bride and her mother-in-law to mount a rescue. Players will battle their way through psychopathic circus performers, bazooka-toting bearded ladies, and murderous mobsters across 30+ levels.
In addition to couch co-op, Lethal Wedding features what’s called the Vow System, which keeps the stakes high by challenging players to complete randomized objectives before reaching the end of each stage. Before entering any levels, you can pick optional challenges to unlock special rewards. For example, if you want elite upgrades like Speed Reload, you’ll have to “vow” to face enemies with bonus damage and increased movement speed.
In another nod to ZAMN, you’ll be making use of unorthodox yet appropriately-themed weapons. Set devastating traps, blast enemies with rapid-fire fruit, or deploy snapping, bouncing rabbits from a magician’s hat. You’ll also be able to tailor your character with more than 20+ randomized enhancements, including everything from Combat Veils to Bulletproof Dresses.
