A new opportunity to dust off your Game Boy Color has arrived. Salt & Pixel has just announced a second chance to snag a physical copy of the dark and gritty top-down shooter, Annihilator. Due to popular demand, a second wave of physical pre-orders is now open!
What is Annihilator all about?
Annihilator is a dark and mature top-down shooter set in the grim world of 40XX. Welcome to Eden Try, a city fueled by the unimaginable: the pain and suffering of its inhabitants. The CRUSH-pioneered Tribulation process transforms human agony into energy for war machines and enhanced soldiers, trapping victims in an endless loop of death and revival, their emotions harvested through torture.
But from this hellish existence, one has escaped… You are Shinryu. You are the Annihilator!
