WaterMelon Games Announces Paprium

It was announced by WaterMelon Games, that after more than 4 epic years of development, is proud to present its new 16-Bit game: Paprium (code-name: “ProjectY”), a postapocalyptic, outrageous, street brawler. Paprium has been crafted at WM’s Magical Game Factory using Investor’s votes and suggestions. Paprium has been developed by a team driven by true passion and 16-Bit excellence.

Check out the official trailer of Paprium, featuring some gameplay footage:

“Year 8A2, somewhere at equidistant point between Shanghai, Tokyo and Pyongyang, a Megapolis rose from ashes of the shortest but most devastating nuclear war in history, its name is PAPRIUM. BRUTAL, MASSIVE. You will fight your way through the city with Tug, Alex and Dice. Redefine the word justice, deal with the BLU drug temptation, and more importantly: STAY ALIVE!
