Low-Poly Shooter ‘Thunder Kid’ Pits You Against Robot Royalty

A battle between the US and Canada leaves them open to attack by a mechanical monarchy, and only you can save them in frantic run ‘n gunner Thunder Kid.

Thunder Kid puts you in the role of the title character, jumping and returning fire as you make your way through the cliffs, forests, caves, and bases of North America as you blast any robot that means to cause trouble. With so many machines out to give you guff, you’ll need to stay quick on your feet to keep from getting shot full of holes.

Thunder Kid can be a stressful shooter as it has you tangling against multiple enemies and machines that can layer a room with bombs and blasts. Also, you can really only take a handful of hits, so you’d better not be a clumsy hero if you expect to keep the people from robot rule.

Thunder Kid is available for $7.99 on Steam.
