If only I could play it on some other devices.

Thats pretty sweet. I hate god of war but this looks like a little 'Bit' of classic goodness here.

No Linux version?
Oh, well. I need to install Windows to multiboot anyway. I want to play Ghost Recon Online Beta, BlazBlue and Skyrim.

God Of War FTW, this looks awesome.

That's adorable.

They should port it to the 3ds, then make a full god of war game for the 3ds... I would buy it, just as long as it has the quality as it does on the playstation ( I wouldn't expect it to be hd , but I wouldn't want to play as a glob, so the charcters should look like they would on the psp )

If it's not played using an NES controller - it's not really an NES game.

We're featuring Game Maker 8-bit-style fangames of series that have never appeared on a Nintendo console now? Let me fetch my shovel and I'll find you enough material for another few thousand articles.

I don't think it should be a side-scrolling, a isometric view would fit better.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks really amateur-ish and really not that meaty. It looks like one of those Game Maker games I did when I was 12

@#10 You're not alone

I just want to see how the boss battles would be like.

haha i would love this

@XXITheWorld I also agree however it's always 'god' (good) to see retro remakes even if not the most incredibly quality. But I appreciate much more original games like Cave Story was in it's time, or even Mutant Muds

I've actually played this for a short spell and, for a free download, it's quite entertaining. The music, which you don't hear in the trailer, definitely made me smile.

@VintageBoy Hey, we saw it and thought it was charming. It's a free game with a quirky theme so we figured, where's the harm?

Meh, I am uninmpressed. Looks too plain. It is 8bit-ish but is not really a NES game, also it is related to a series that never even was on nintendo consoles. Seems a bit out of place.

Played this, really rather boring, crappiest platforming I've ever seen...

look at how cute little Kratos is!

Have you guys played this yet? From what I've played, the style is pretty epically NES! 8-bit gory boss fights is fun too.

LOVE IT!!!

@JarvanZheitk Why would they make a linux version? While I dualboot, I will usually try wine first before booting into windows. Simple things like this usually work fine.

@shimage PC gamers probably prefer to play games in their native OS to get those few extra frames per second.

_{not that I'm calling JarvanZheitk a PC gamer}

Hilarious!! I always find it funny how developers have to purposely scale down things for 8-bit and what the outcomes usually are.

@bezerker99 You could get a USB NES Controller.

Cool!!

looks fun but I only do macs for work or real consoles. yeah, yell at me, whatever.

This looks pretty bad. :/ I was picturing an 8bit side scrolling beat em up that's just as fast and frantic as the real God of War games. I love the sprite though, it's pretty great.

Still not as awesome as that Chinese port of Final Fantasy VII to the Famicom.

I think NL got confused & put this news here rather than on the Push Square website. Other than the game looking like it was coded in the 8-bit era this as nothing to do with the NES, it isn't NES homebrew. It's a PC indie game based on a Playstation exclusive series hence has nothing to do with Nintendo.

Whatever happened to the Ocarina of Time 2D Top-Down remake?

Some of the graphics seem to be stripped off Battle of Olympus, but I might be wrong (Haven't played that game in a while)

@WiiLovePeace We posted a version of this story on Push Square. The developers actually made it clear that this was designed to look and sound like an 8-bit game, with plenty of direct references to NES in their blog and the game's site (both linked in the article). They've even produced an image of a Bit of War NES cartridge (image was a bit low-res, wrong dimensions for the news article) and they're going to produce 'an old school NES manual' (digital though, and I forgot to mention it in the article).

We didn't make up the NES angle, that was all down to the developer

LOL!

This would look better as a 16-bit beat-em-up.

Hehehe!

Mega Man 7 FC. This is what this reminded me of.

I'm trying this

@bezerker99 You could always buy one of those NES USB controllers. They're really really cheap.

Never cared for God of War, but I'm a sucker for anything-8 bit, so I'll give it a go. What can I say... the NES was never surpassed, in my opinion.

Thanks for this article.
