The short demake reinterprets the game’s first boss fight —The Chain, a masked sentinel who produces shockwaves of stuttering, deathly energy — as an 8-bit epic. Like the original Furi, which, Lucas Sullivan wrote in GamesRadar’sFuri impressions, often looks “like a still from a flashy anime,” the demake prioritizes hot colors, tense, close combat, and cinematic drama.
As another part of this goal, The Game Bakers are hosting a demakespeedrun competition, which you can participate in now through December 18. To enter and possibly win a “Furi OST vinyl, artbook and a t-shirt,” the developer writeson Twitter, email them a video of your fastest run.
And if all of that inspires you to give Furi’s full game a try for the first time, there are presents for you, too. The game is now 60% off ($7.99) on all available platforms (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Switch, PC), and itsOnnamusha downloadable contentis 50% off ($3.49) on Steam until December 9.
The Furi demake’s 8-bit-style glory might have you feeling nostalgic. Channel that feeling into discoveringthe best retro gamesof all time.
