I was wondering the other day what these guys were up to. I hope they start a new game soon.
Oh yeah, forgot about the XONE port. Should have added "port to a console i do own", lol.

Amazing little game, only let down by the last level which went against the rest of the game (constant checkpoints and not much going on).
If you do try it and you should, know that the second level is a huge hump. It gets much easier after that.

I have this game on PC. The difficulty kills me, literally, many times. 
I wouldn't mind double dipping on this if I could progress further than the first level. I just know this would feel great on the Wii U Pro controller, but that may not be a good enough reason for me to buy it again.
I just checked on Steam, and I have logged 4 hours into Volgarr. In that amount of time I have yet to reach stage 2. Yes, I may suck at these kinds of games, but I still like it. I just don't love it like I love Shovel Knight, another old scool game, where progression is much easier for me.

Lol, I know that feel bro, just check the post above you.I struggled with the first fucking level.
Edit- I am a gamer from the 80's and even I can't handle it. The pain is real.

Cool beans. The Shinobi game they made on 3DS wasn't half bad.

This game kicks absolute ass, total underrated gem. Play if you like hard ass action platformers in the vein of ghosts and goblins.

That's not the last level. To get to the real last level you have to get on the Valkyrie path version of stage 2, and continue on the Valkyrie path through 2-6. Some are very different than the regular version. If you complete this, it unlocks the secret stage 7.
They've been working on new game(s) for a while. I believe there's a more important "main" project that they're working on (could have been this, or could be Volgarr 2?) while they continue to prototype and develop Eternal Helix, which is their next original game which has been announced. It's a top down action game.

Yep, Volgarr is no joke. I'd say it's more difficult than those old games.

Holy crap, it's about time. Can't believe it's actually making it's way to Vita still, too. I've wanted it on Vita since it was being promo'd before release, even though I have it on Steam.
Maybe I can actually sit down and try to beat more than 1 level.

Its got a little bit of pixel blood.
The better question to ask is how violent are you going to get after the 50th time you die on the first level?

Fantastic news. I always wanted to play this on my PS4
This game is awesome. Playing it right now on my brother's x1. Stuck at the third world,I keep trying to get a certain chest that's early on in the 1st part. Not stopping 'till I figure it out!.
fuck those jumping skeletons. The regular zombies can fuck off too. I keep forgetting about that damn sword embedded in them

Is Volgarr 240p native? If so I might have to go with 3DS over Vita.

I finished the original Ninja Garden on nes, finished Rogue Legacy, and finished Spelunky "the right way", but this game is hard in an unfun and unfair way. The controls suck, especially the jumping, and you can't see far enough ahead of you.
I had high hopes, but it just didn't work for me. It's too bad, I loved (and finished) Rastan back in the day.

Yeah, I've never been kicked off public transportation before.
Ninja Garden anything like Plants vs Zombies? I'll have to check that out.
Haha, literally laughed out loud for way too long.

Awesome! Used to watch play throughs on Giant Bomb all the time - PS4sho!
I think they've since made the camera zoom a toggle if you're concerned about what's ahead of you.
And jumping is weird but it's a deliberate action like in G&G. You get used to it and especially when start using the double jump for precision rather than purely distance.

You're not worth VOLGAR THE VIKINING'S time!
