A Retrospective Tribute to the United States of America
This coming Fourth of July, try out the patriotic game currently being developed by the one-man game development studio Orange Studios: Magialt’s Kansas Panic!, which will have a full release on Steam later in 2021. The game is currently in beta with features being added for those who want to try the game in its current form. The beta version of Magialt’s Kansas Panic! is on itch.io and GameJolt, ready to be downloaded.
Magialt’s Kansas Panic! is an anime-inspired cross between a bullet hell and a tower defense that takes place in the heartland of the United States of America during the Great War. It takes the aesthetics of the beloved Nintendo GameBoy and uses it to reflect the colorless films of the early 1900s. Defend your turf while dodging the bullets and enemies that come your way to hurt you. As you stand your ground on the battlefield, retro-renditions of classic tunes loved by Americans throughout time will play; including Stars and Stripes Forever, The Yellow Rose of Texas, and, of course, The Star-Spangled Banner. Magialt’s Kansas Panic! is an all-around American game
In Magialt’s Kansas Panic!, you play as Ulrica Sanford, the sweetest girl you’ll meet from Kansas City, Kansas in the rural stretches of America’s Great Plains. She works as a part-time magical girl defending her hometown from the unseen forces that wish to cause despair and destruction to the proud citizens that live peacefully alongside her.
She believes the work she does is an act of duty in protecting the nation she loves. When she isn’t fighting to defend her people, she works to help her family manage their farm while the father and the oldest brother serve their duties on the actual war being fought far from their home.
Her work certainly is not a stroll through peaceful fields of sunflowers. Unseen to the livelihoods of her neighbors are monsters such as horrifying flower-bird hybrids, flying cow heads of doom, and sentient tornado monsters. It’s something that only the worst of nightmares can produce.
Alongside the hidden battles are a cute rodent species known as the Shaqea, who come and supply Ulrica with the things she needs to eliminate the terrifying forces from encroaching Kansas City. With the arsenal and the brave American spirit she has, she can show those monsters who their Uncle Sam is and keep America safe from their dirty hands!
So what are you waiting for!? Take hold of Ulrica’s hand and help her as she defends the nation and the people she loves!
Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is now available for Nintendo Switch™!
