Rocket Knight
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Climax
Released: 12 May 2010
Genre
Platform

Rocket Knight is a revival of the Sparkster series, which began with Rocket Knight Adventures on the Mega Drive. This 2.5D update sees opossum hero Sparkster strapping on his jetpack and picking up his sword once more in order to fend off a new threat to the kingdom of Zebulos.

The game will have two ways to play: Arcade mode, which emulates the 16-bit games in which progression goes from level to level and there are no save points, catering to hardcore gamers, and Freeplay mode, which allows more novice players to save their progress and select levels from a map screen. The game will also feature online leaderboards and achievements.
