Ever since Acclaim went through its huge relaunch this year, we’ve been seeing some great titles from them. Like Katanaut, for example. But there are those of you that wonder, “Well, what about a sports game?” That’s where Basketball Classics comes in.
The game, produced by Namo Gamo, is a love letter to old-school sports games like Double Dribble and Tecmo Bowl, with classic style visuals and gameplay. And what’s more, it’s just fun to play with its packed roster of players. And did we mention you can take on a friend?
We’ll be looking at this one down the road. But for now, you can get the game on Steam for a knocked-down price through December 15th. Let’s talk about it!
Basketball Classics Is Packed
Usually going for $9.99 (already a good price), you can now get Basketball Classics for the bargain basement price of $3.49. That’s less than a bag of good candy!
Here are the features you can expect from the game:
- Side-scrolling, sweaty arcade action
- Simplified 3-button gameplay
- Decades of rosters with 175+ teams
- 1000+ players with individualized attributes
- Seamless play calling
- Sensational cut scenes
- 1-Player Story Mode unlocks secret teams
- Scream-inducing local multiplayer
- Retro vibes galore
- No virtual currency. No pay-to-win. No micro transactions. Ever.
“This game is a passion project for us indie developers here at Namo Gamo. We hope you can feel the love put into every pixel, the endless adjustments to stat-driven gameplay, and the genuinely retro sound and music,” the team noted.
So get yourself some good basketball this holiday season! We’ll see you on the court.
