The “Samsara Adventure”, a side-scrolling action-adventure game reminiscent of the classic Atari 2600 title “Adventure”, is set to debut for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on Steam and GOG on September 4.

Here is an overview of the game, via Atari:

About

The “Journey through Samsara” is a captivating, side-scrolling Metroidvania action-adventure that evokes the enigmatic essence of the classic Atari 2600 game, “Adventure“, while charting an entirely fresh and distinct path.

In captivating 2D pixel style, “Adventure of Samsara” seamlessly blends vintage gameplay, an intricately linked universe, and a thought-provoking storyline that delves into themes of death, rebirth, and recollection. Hailing from Brazil, Ilex Games is the creative mind behind this project. Players find themselves wielding the Solar Champion, a revived Plutonian, reanimated by the primordial radiance of the Sun. The Champion’s objective is to reignite a mystifying interdimensional fortress, a task that requires restoring harmony across the multiverse.

Delving into the rich tapestry of interconnected landscapes teeming with mutant beasts, I find myself on an epic quest in Adventure of Samsara. As I progress, I uncover new talents and upgrades that unfold the game’s captivating cosmic tale layer by layer. This game echoes the spirit of the original Adventure, filled with the allure of exploration, piqued curiosity, and concealed mysteries. Unlike a remake or sequel, Adventure of Samsara invites me to hunt for subtle nods to the first adventure game as I traverse a profoundly immersive world.
