Henshin Engine Is A New Sidescroller For The TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine

Henshin Engine, a sidescrolling action game with shmup elements, is in development for the TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine as well as modern PCs.

Based on the webcomic of the same name, Henshin Engine casts players as Yuki, a game tester who gets drawn into a sidescrolling video game after she tries to use an experimental game console. Now, she must overcome challenges across eight different worlds, cutting them down with her attacks or blasting them from the skies in horizontal shooting stages.

A 3-stage demo is currently available through the game’s site, which can be played using TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine emulation. Henshin Engine is seeking Kickstarter funds to complete the remaining five levels, and is set to release on March 28, 2017.
