Frogun Coming to PC and Consoles in August

Cute platformers with colorful characters and collectibles are some of my favorite games from my gaming history. I love games like Donkey Kong 64, A Hat in Time, Spyro the Dragon, and others like them. Now, Molegato and Top Hat Studios have prepped a new entry to add to my list, with Frogun.

Originally announced at the Wholesome Direct this year, Frogun will come to PC and Consoles on August 2^nd. Frogun puts you in the role of Renata, a girl with a rather interesting sidekick named Frogun, a frog who is also a gun. Frogun is Renata’s best friend, and they go on an adventure together. Here is what the press release has to say.

“In Frogun, Renata is left at base camp by her explorer parents whilst they set out on an expedition to the Beelzebub ruins. When they mysteriously disappear, Renata must set out on a rescue mission with the help of their latest invention – the Frogun, an intelligent, frog-shaped grappling tool. Rich in depth, collectibles, challenges, and featuring vibrant crisp pixel graphics, players journey with Renata and her best friend, the titular Frogun.

Through mystical jungle ruins, dark depths, freezing snow caps, and scorching lava swamps, you’ll hunt for treasure, dodge perilous hazards, and fight enemies and challenging bosses along the way. Experience dozens of levels set across many uniquely themed worlds, encounter other mysterious adventurers, and find unlockable secrets, collectibles, and in-game achievements, as well as notes left by pirates, raiders, and previous explorers of the ruins.

To reward collection maniacs, Frogun’s coins can be traded for unlockable cosmetics and behind-the-scenes peeks. Upon 100% completion of the game, players can unlock an expert time trials mode which provides a set of pro times to beat for each level and should serve as a speed runner’s dream, alongside a bonus dedicated speed-running mode.”

I’m excited to play around in the world of Frogun. I love games with quirky characters and slightly weird ideas. These are the sorts of games that leave a mark on people, so hopefully, Frogun turns out to be as exciting as it seems to be. August 2^nd can’t come soon enough.
