Porkshire Hero
Porkshire Hero – out now on Xbox and PC

Old School Vibes, the studio known for some charming retro-inspired titles like Magical Backpack, Sokonature and more, is back with a new adventure – Porkshire Hero.

This is a delightful 2D platformer starring Pink Pig, a brave hero on a quest to rescue the princess.

Launching today on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, the game is available in three editions: an Xbox Series X|S Optimised Edition, an Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S Edition (both priced at ÂŁ4.19), and a bundle including both Xbox versions, as well as a PC version, for ÂŁ10.74.

A Pink Pig’s Perilous Quest

Porkshire Hero follows the titular Pink Pig as he embarks on a daring journey to save the princess from the clutches of evil.

This is no walk in the park, however. Pink Pig must traverse vibrant forests and treacherous mountains, overcoming a variety of traps and enemies along the way. From menacing creatures to perilous pitfalls, the path to heroism is paved with challenges.

The game features classic platforming mechanics, requiring players to master precision jumps, tricky climbs, and strategic manoeuvres. But Pink Pig has a unique ability up his sleeve – gliding! This allows him to float through the air, overcoming obstacles and reaching new heights. Mastering this ability is crucial for navigating the game’s intricate levels and overcoming its challenges.

A Colourful World of Pixel Art

Porkshire Hero features a vibrant and charming pixel art style, bringing its three distinct worlds to life. Each world boasts its own unique aesthetic and challenges, from lush forests to treacherous mountaintops. The game’s colourful visuals and retro-inspired design create a delightful atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and fresh.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
