Item Description

Built for real NES hardware in the spirit of the late-'80s run-and-gun, Orebody: Binder's Tale is the kind of game that would have sat comfortably beside Mega Man and Contra on a rental-store shelf, except that it was made decades later. You play Binder, an orphaned battle bot on the alien world of Orebody, fighting your way toward the Floating City of Galvanstad, a hovering A.I. fortress, to confront your makers and avenge the death of your mentor.

The action is quick and focused. Binder's moveset grows as the game goes on, building from running and gunning to jumping and dashing, and the controls cover the classic options: aim upward, crouch or go prone, fire low and drop through certain floors. Five stages, five weapon types and a hefty fifteen bosses keep the pace brisk, and secrets hidden around Galvanstad reward a careful second look. Jordan Davis handles the music and sound effects, giving the whole thing an authentic chiptune punch.

Orebody was created by a small independent team using NESMaker and released as a real NES game that runs on original hardware, part of a modern homebrew scene that keeps producing new adventures for a console that launched in North America in 1985. It has since traveled to modern platforms as well, including an enhanced digital edition, proof of how well its tight design holds up outside its native format.

The appeal is easy to see: a new old-school action game with a clear mission, compact levels and a boss count that would make any 8-bit veteran grin. It is a compact, replayable run up the side of a floating fortress, and a fine example of how much life the NES design language still has.
