The internationally acclaimed indie game studio behind Chroma Squad and Knights of Pen & Paper is back to Kickstarter. Behold Studios revealed today their new crowdfunding project and is hoping to have at least the same success they had in 2013 with a manager RPG about Power Rangers and TV Show called Chroma Squad.
“Getting back to the Kickstarter once again is not for the faint-hearted. Chroma Squad in 2013 was a huge undertaken, but it was a very successful one.” said Saulo Camarotti, the lead creator of the studio. “Today we’re getting back to crowdfunding, but we want to bring more experience and maturity to the project” he completes.
The new project is called Mahou Senshi Cosplay Club, where the studio is focusing in creating a story driven RPG with their very well-known twist of mixing realities of imagination and meta reference. This time a Magical Girl gets her power from starting a journey in becoming a Cosplayer, and the game will allow you to create costumes and fight in turn-based battles using the costumes you create.
The game features a complete RPG set in a cosplaying world. You’ll have the opportunity to explore events and exhibitions to participate in cosplaying contests. Through exploration, you will expand your inventory with new materials and design parts so you can be more creative on crafting new costumes.
The studio is looking for support to complete the game on Kickstarter and has put some interesting options in their pledge list, such as buying access to an early playable build of the game, or even becoming an NPC cosplayer inside the game that looks just like you and would be wearing a nice cosplay of your choice.
Mahou Senshi Cosplay Club will be heading first to PC and Major Consoles, and it is expected to release in 2023 upon the success of the Kickstarter. If you want to check out their crowdfunding page, please go to playcosplayclub.com.
Behold Studios was founded in 2009 and is known for games like Knights of Pen & Paper, Chroma Squad and Out of Space. With more than 70 international awards and nominations the studio has gathered a big loyal community with their quirky pixel art RPGs along the years.
