Bitmap Bureau's XenoCrisis getting physical release

One of the joys of growing up in the physical-only 16-bit world was spending your cash on a game and actually looking at the box art. Studying the main image, getting a feel for the atmosphere of a game that was mostly tiny pixels. Can't say I've ever done that in the last few generations, beyond the odd batshit crazy title like Borderlands 2.

Therefore, it is only fitting that Bitmap Bureau's Mega Drive game XenoCrisis gets a physical release from Strictly Limited on the Switch. Even though this isn't final artwork, it puts across a great level of detail. We have hints of alien fiends their tentacles and claws flailing, bullets flying everywhere, a hero in full berserk mode, and a strong female character, her armour battle-scared, kicking in doors.

The successful Kickstarter campaign will update soon with new tiers for the physical release, a worthy investment I reckon. Or, you can pick it from Strictly Limited when a presumably modest production run will be announced soon.
