Details

Overview

Platypus, the beloved arcade-style shoot-em-up, has been reborn with Platypus Reclayed. Developed by original creator Anthony Flack and the Claymatic Team, this reimagining has been rebuilt from the ground up for contemporary hardware. Players are thrust into the smog-choked, over-expanded metropolis of Collosatropolis, a city bursting at the seams and choked by pollution. It's a fast, frantic, and fun experience that harks back to classic arcade thrills while offering a fresh coat of paint and updated mechanics.

Highlights

A Modern Take on a Classic: Platypus Reclayed features entirely new 4K artwork and models, completely re-engineered from its original release.
Enhanced Gameplay: Experience updated gameplay mechanics, new weaponry, and additional content designed to keep the action fresh and engaging.
Retro Arcade Action: Dive into a classic shoot-em-up experience with local co-op options, perfect for reliving arcade memories with friends.

Who It's For

Fans of classic arcade shooters, shoot 'em ups, and bullet hell games will find a lot to love here. The inclusion of local co-op also makes it a great choice for players looking for a shared gaming experience on their PC, Mac, or consoles.
