Necrosphere Deluxe is the upcoming retro adventure-platformer with minimalist controls by Sony publishing label UNITES and indie studio Cat Nigiri. The simple but deadly game will land on the PS4, PS Vita, and Nintendo Switch platforms at the end of this month while the Xbox One release will come later this year.

The game's official description reads:

When super-secret agent Terry Cooper dies on a failed mission, he awakens in The Necrosphere. This afterlife is bursting at the seams with dangerous obstacles, devious traps and deadly enemies all working together to stop Terry from escaping. Soar to new heights with a jetpack, bounce sky high off gravity bubbles, and collect game-changing items, all while utilizing an intuitive two button control scheme, to return to the Normalsphere.

Frequent respawn points drop Terry right back into action, allowing him to quickly learn from his mistakes and re-tackle the challenges of the Necrosphere. Even with his partners sending him messages from the Normalsphere to guide his journey, he'll need to make the most of his abilities to escape the Necrosphere and stop the Istanistani from carrying out their evil plans.

The Deluxe edition launching on console will feature improved graphics, optimized performance, and additional languages.

Necrosphere Deluxe will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PS Vita for $9.99 USD on January 31, 2019. It's localized in English, Brazilian, Portugese, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Russian, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. The game is currently available for Windows and Mac on Steam.

"We designed Necrosphere Deluxe to challenge the masters of super-hard platformers while being approachable for people new to the genre," said Caio Lopez, founder of Cat Nigiri. "Necrosphere Deluxe's simple controls and bite-sized but devilish trials will help new players improve their skills while simultaneously presenting hardcore platformer fans with the most difficult game they will ever play with two buttons."
