Developer Inti Creates has just announced that it will be releasing Blaster Master Zero and its sequel Blaster Master Zero 2 for the PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store.
Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero 2 follow the adventures of Jason Frudnick, a robotics prodigy, and Eve, a mysterious girl that has a connection with an armored tank named SOPHIA III. Together, they journey to defeat the mutants that have overrun a post-apocalyptic and ice age Earth that they currently live in. The gameplay mostly revolves around gunplay, using the SOPHIA III’s numerous weapons to defeat enemies, clear levels and move towards the next challenge. Boss battles, different areas, and the usual 16 bit graphics can all be found in this shooting and sidescrolling title.
