Cede aims to bring a little bit of greenery back to a desolate planet by beating the seeds out of foes and choosing which plants to grow.
A planet’s been cracked into pieces following a conflict between brothers (whereas me and my brother only ever broke a gumball machine and a few lamps). Further trouble hasn’t exactly helped the shards of planet stay very healthy, leaving a world of barren rocks steadily crumbling apart. Seph, our large hero, aims to bring these shards back together using golden seeds, hopefully changing the course of things for the people of this land. Oh yeah, and he’ll also be punching evil right in the face.
Seph’s green thumb lines up very well with his four massive knuckles, giving the creature the gift to grow plants and knock jerks out. Enemies in this game carry seeds in massive amounts, so laying a few beatdowns means there’s an excess of potential plants you can grow afterwards. Various foes will drop their own special seeds, and you can choose which of these you want to nurture when they hit the ground. These plants do unique things, from attacking foes to keeping you healthy, allowing you to grow gardens filled with things that let you clobber creatures even faster.
Cede takes the loving care that goes into growing gardens in a farming sim and takes it into Streets of Rage territory, letting you smash enemies while gaining that lovely backyard greenery you’ve always wanted to grow. Who doesn’t enjoy a little fistfighting as they brighten up the environment?
Cede is currently in development, but in the meantime, you can support its creation on Kickstarter.
