Metal platformer Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior from Chaosmonger now on Kickstarter and smashed the funding goal

With a world inspired by the lore and iconic concept albums of the metal music band Voivod, the latest retro-inspired game from Chaosmonger Studio is live on Kickstarter.

It's already managed to smash the initial €17,500 crowdfunding goal, so they're working towards special stretch goals if they get more funding to expand the game further.

The developers said they're working closely with the band to "supervise the entire creative process, ensuring that every aspect of the game stays true to the band's deep and intricate lore" which includes the "visual design to the soundtrack and gameplay elements, the band is deeply involved in shaping the experience to be an authentic tribute to their legacy".
