Hermano & Chante Released As Classic Game Boy Cartridges

ModRetro has released two new retro-like games that are available as Game Boy cartridges, as you can get Hermano and Chante today

Indie game publisher ModRetro has released two new games for the classic Game Boy console, as you can now snag both Hermano and Chante. Both games offer up some old-school experience, as Hermano is a 2D platformer from Spanish developer Pat Morita Team, while Chante has you playing an open-world exploration rhythm game as you explore in the golden age of piracy. We have details of both below as they're available today.

Chantey

Chantey is a classic top-down adventure, mixing open-world exploration and rhythm game elements. You play as a young-man-turned-pirate, entangled in a fierce pirate vendetta between the descendants of the legendary 'Nightingale Pirate' on a quest to rule the seven seas beneath the vibrant echoes of rousing pirate metal anthems. Set in an alternate history where Golden Age pirate mythology and headbanging metal riffs collide, embark on an epic journey to re-assemble and revive the Nightingale Pirate's heavy metal legacy, navigate treacherous waters, overcome notorious enemies, and survive the horrors lurking beneath the ocean's waves.

• A Cross-Genre Masterpiece: Experience a unique blend of top-down adventure and rhythm-based combat, with frantic rhythm sections during battles for an epic gameplay experience.

Hermano ("brother") follows the courageous Nano as he ventures through the underworld to rescue his brother Mano, who was abducted while honoring his brother's grave during the Day of the Dead.
