MANOS: The Hands of Fate attempts to please the Master on Greenlight
Torgo's bizarre undulations and wobbly-voiced predictions of the Master's disapproving nature might reach a much wider audience, as Mystery Science Theater 3000 homage MANOS: The Hands of Fate is seeking the communal go-ahead on Steam Greenlight.Based on the 1966 horror film of the same name, MANOS originally launched on iOS in June of last year, with a PC port arriving on Indievania last December. The Steam port will include a new "Play as Torgo" mode, assuming the game makes it onto the service. No word on Steam pricing as of yet, but the existing iOS and PC versions go for $1.99 and $5.99, respectively.
MANOS: The Hands of Fate lands on iOS July 26
FreakZone Games will deliver retro adventure game MANOS: The Hands of Fate to iOS devices on July 26. Based on the awful 1966 cult movie of the same name, the game has players controlling Mike through locales inspired by the film, as well as settings from other movies.According to FreakZone's site, "MANOS honours bad movies and games and borrows a lot of conventions from famous badness of the past, while at the same time bringing them all together to create something good." The game contains references to multiple films and games such as Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, along with Easter eggs dedicated specifically to Mystery Science Theater 3000.The development team plans to release the NES-inspired game on Android devices, including the Kindle Fire, later this year.
