Earthbound's influence is truly limitless, especially when it comes to indie RPGs such as Undertale and the upcoming Oddity. Knuckle Sandwich has all of the makings of another great indie title, complete with all of the hallmarks that have become synonymous with Earthbound.
Knuckle Sandwich began as a Kickstarter project in 2018 and was quickly funded, with a release date set for 2019. The year is 2020, and the game is still in the early stages of development.
The game puts you in control of a diner worker who becomes entangled in a missing person's investigation, a fanatical cult, and gang war in the streets of New York.
In battle, you attack enemies by playing minigames in the style of Warioware, which alternate between different genres such as shoot-em-ups and rhythm games, with other genres such as puzzle games thrown in for good measure.
Andrew Brophy, the game's creator, took to Kickstarter to provide an update to his backers and fans, including the release of a new teaser video showcasing the work that has gone into the game, which includes gameplay and graphical tweaks.
Is there a trailer for Knuckle Sandwich?
Brophy also demonstrated the current progress status of Knuckle Sandwich, which shows that four of the game's eight chapters have been completed to a significant degree. During the most recent update to the game, which was released in October 2019, developer Brophy announced that the developers of Superhot would be providing funding for the development of Knuckle Sandwich.
While there is no set release date for the game at this time, there is a demo available, as well as a Steam page where interested parties can add the game to their wishlist.
