Screaming Electric Death Comes to Atari’s Lineup of Physical Switch Releases with Tempest 4000
It's time to feed your head to the (preorder) web.
Atari and Limited Run Games are pleased to announce Nintendo #switch physical edition preorders are now available for Tempest 4000™, the psychedelic masterpiece from the mind of legendary designer Jeff Minter. Now through January 1, 2023, you can secure your own limited edition physical copy of one of the highest-regarded arcade-inspired games of the modern age. Visit the official site here to order yours.
Tempest 4000 is a sequel to the classic arcade game Tempest®, and remains faithful to the original, while adding heart-pounding new music, updated levels, and even more neon-lit madness. Developed by Jeff Minter and his studio Llamasoft, Tempest 4000 sees that players once again take control of the Claw, a powerful spacecraft equipped to destroy deadly creatures and other obstructions with rapid-fire shots on vibrant geometric prisms. A hallmark of Minter's style and creative genius, Tempest 4000 is a true explosion of lights, colors, and action all to the backdrop of a bass-boosted synth soundtrack, which includes familiar tracks from Tempest 2000.
Key Features of Tempest 4000 Include:
- A Blast from the Past: Take down hordes of enemies in this fast-paced, retro-arcade style shooter
- Pick a Mode, Any Mode: Pick from three different game modes including Classic, Pure and Survival that will push your skills to the limit
- Level Up: Progress and conquer 100 unique geometric levels by destroying enemies with various weapons and power-ups, and by earning upgrades through bonus rounds
- Scale the Leaderboards: Show off your high score in your quest to be recognized as number one
Developed by Jeff Minter's Studio Llamasoft and published by #atari, Tempest 4000's physical Nintendo #switch edition is available for preorder on Limited Run's official site for $34.99 USD.
