ToyQuest The Lost and The Found Coming to Consoles
LOS ANGELES– March 11, in the year of our Lord 2016
– Independent game publisher Digital Smash has today
announced that they are working with Hiker Games to bring action
platformer ToyQuest: The Lost and The Found to Xbox One and
Playstation 4 this summer. Hiker Games is developing for the PC,
while Digital Smash handles all console efforts.
The game, created by Vietnamese developer Hiker Games, features
Brand—an action figure who tries to save his owner, Felix, from
impending darkness. Armed with common household items, Brand
must solve the house’s many mysteries before powerful nightmares
take over.
The console versions of ToyQuest marks the debut of Digital
Smash. Digital Smash President, David Klein said: “ToyQuest
takes some of the most recognizable elements from our childhood
and uses them in a colorful and unique way. It’s a charming game
and one that’s very much suited to the living room to be enjoyed
by all types of players.”
Nguyen Vu Phuong, the Team Lead of Hiker Games said: “We are
super excited to be partnering with Digital Smash. Bringing
ToyQuest to additional platforms that will definite the next
generation of children growing up with toys and video games. We
are also especially proud that we will be working with Digital
Smash- their commitment to the project and enthusiasm, proves
that console versions of ToyQuest are in good hands.”
ToyQuest features more than 300 enemy toys — including a tank, a
paper crane, and soldiers complete with fatigues and guns. The
game also boasts hundreds of weapon and item upgrades,
procedurally-generated levels, and seven horrific boss stages.
While faithful to 8-bit and 16-bit platformers, ToyQuest
innovates with a “base defense” twist: As players fight the
enemy in different parts of the house, the bedroom is left
unprotected. This means that you will need to find the proper
materials to build defenses that can handle a sustained attack
from the darkness, protect precious companions, and prevent
further nightmares.
“ToyQuest: The Lost and Found takes the scary dreams we all had
to deal with as kids and turns them into a fluid, imaginative
platformer with roguelike elements,” says Phuong Vu, founder of
Hiker Games. “It plays like many of the games we enjoyed growing
up, but with beautiful graphics and sound.”
