Jetpacks! Dynamite! Moustaches! Klaus Lee - Thunderballs is Coming to Switch and PC Autumn 2023 Heavy is the Head that Wears the ‘Stache
If you thought moustaches only had a few good uses, think again. Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer NUKKLEAR are excited to reveal 2D action platformer, Klaus Lee - Thunderballs, coming to Nintendo Switch, Windows PC and Mac via Steam later this year. As Klaus Lee, players are fixin’ to find out what it means to become the most impressive (and handsome) hero the world has never heard of, all in brilliant 2D platformer action.
Taking the role of the titular moustached spelunker Klaus Lee, players will explore virtual worlds ranging from deep underground caverns to buried civilizations —all of which are utterly dripping in rich, neon-hued, heavily intoxicated ‘80s inspired visuals and bawdy humour. German ingenuity never looked so good.
Klaus Lee wasn’t always battling enemies in a side-scrolling adventure platformer, though. He was once a Beverly Hills cop, then a private investigator and Hollywood stuntman who also taught Chuck Norris how to walk, taught Gene Simmons how to rock, and dated all of Charlie’s Angels at the same time. You might say Klaus Lee is a man who’s truly done it all. He even taught Maverick how to fly. But even the world’s most interesting men aren’t immune to the powers of rudimentary ’80s technology, which is how he got sucked into his TV screen and ended up in a video game.
So, what will you do as such a mythical man? Stuck in a video game from the 80s, you’re of course trapped in an old school platformer. But don’t you dare think it’s going to be boring just because it’s old. You get to utilise a jetpack, dynamite, and even laser vision as you traverse your way through over 100 unique levels.
Thanks to a handy dandy level editor, take your creative skills to the next level (literally) with robust design options where anything you dream can be created, destroyed, and created again. With hundreds of options and endless possibilities, put your mightiest ideas to the test, have Klaus Lee try them out, and then unleash them to the world via cross-platform level sharing ability. Then, be sure to try out other community-created levels to see if you can outsmart them. Of course, you will, but we have to say that.
