Giana Sisters return this spring

Now the older members here will find the name Giana Sisters oddly familiar for some reason. Well let me enlighten you, Back in 1987 the game The Great Giana Sisters was released on Amiga, Amstrad and Commodore machines but instantly hit the news due to its similarity to a certain game about an Italian plumber and his brother. The game was pulled from the shelves and nothing was heard for decades.

Then last year Black Forest Studios announced they'd bought the license and was producing a brand new game entitled Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. This time round there will be no comparison to other famous games with a reworked game mechanic system making this a very different game. Each sister can use their special abilites to transform themselves, but when they transform the environment changes too requiring strategic uses of the abilities to complete the tricky levels and defeat the end-of-level bosses.

Some of the key features of the game will include:
• Challenging levels: Discover three distinctive worlds with a total of 23 levels, which can be transformed from a colorful dream to an eerie nightmare at the push of a button.
• Personal style: Regardless whether you dash through the levels in speed-run or take your time to explore every last corner, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams offers something for everyone.
• Superb graphics: Dreamlike landscapes transform themselves from lush, resplendent surroundings into surreal, withered nightmare worlds, in which there are always new details to discover.

• Intriguing puzzles: Blocked paths open up when Giana transforms herself; lovely flowerbeds mutate into deadly thorn bushes, and some diamonds can only be gathered in one form or the other.

• Diverse playing modes: The game is challenging in normal mode, but it can be a truly harrowing experience in hardcore and super-hardcore modes.

• Legendary soundtrack: Listen to Chris Hülsbeck’s music as it transitions from the classic chiptunes to the metal riffs of the Swedish SID-rockers, Machinae Supremacy.

• Epic boss-battles: Whether devilish demons or powerful end-bosses, you will need every trick in your arsenal to defeat your opponents.

The current release date for the title is Spring 2013 on XBLA and more info can be found at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Don't forget to check out the trailer below.
