A Third-Person Action Adventure Game With PS1 Style Graphics & Modern Mechanics

Reddit user No-Arm9089, aka indie developer Ashnell Games, has shared a funny trailer for their newly released game called Grandpa High on Retro, which is an action-adventure game with third-person modern mechanics created with Unreal Engine: 

In this game’s world featuring a retro PS1 graphics style, you, the grandpa, have been called by a mistress to save her life. The neighborhood will be turned into a fighting arena – enter the buildings, go through the forest, and climb up to the roof. (It’s not an easy job for a normal grandpa, but you’re far beyond being average.) 

As you pass through semi-open linear levels, get involved in some fierce gunfire and shoot at them using various weapons like guns or grenades, and the boss fights will help unlock new story progress. You’ll also enjoy the freedom to explore the neighborhood and learn its history and characters. 

Ashnell Games said that this game is a love letter to GTA 4, GTA San Andreas, Max Payne, and Postal 2. The campaign length is around 4 to 6 hours. Besides the trailer, the developer also shared a few demos on Twitter, showcasing the dialogue and combat:
