Blast Brigade vs. The Evil Legion of Dr. Cread doesn’t just have a lengthy old title – it’s got a lot of stuff going on inside of it too. A 2D action-adventure that mixes in platforming, metroidvania-styled exploration, combat and the more, it has now broken out of Steam Early Access to launch on Xbox.
Playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, Blast Brigade vs. The Evil Legion of Dr. Cread will set you back £16.74 from the Xbox Store.
A game that has been inspired by those action flicks of the 1980s, it will see you traversing through a wonderfully delightful world, one full of colour and comic-book stylings as you attempt to save the world. Yep, another in which we’ll be saving the world .
Blast Brigade vs. The Evil Legion of Dr. Cread promises much. Four playable characters are on hand to help push this adventure forward, each with their own unique abilities and skillsets. This means that whoever you play with, you’ll find access to specific weapons at certain times; grappling hooks, grenade launchers and teleporters for instance.
You’ll need those skills and weapons too as whilst the land of Blast Brigade vs. The Evil Legion of Dr. Cread and the island itself looks fun, it’s full of deadly foes and monstrous bosses. Utilising that weaponry, making the most of your platforming skills and involving yourself in a little light puzzling is the name of the game.
