The release of OneShot: World Machine Edition, a remastered version of the popular purple-tinted puzzle RPG, has been highly anticipated by fans. As the game gears up for its release on Steam on September 30th, players are excited to dive back into the world of OneShot in a new and improved format. This edition, which has already been available on Nintendo Switch since 2022, promises to bring a fresh experience to both new players and seasoned fans alike.
Developed by Future Cat, OneShot: World Machine Edition boasts a host of new features and improvements. The game has been “completely rebuilt for modern portable consoles,” with an entirely new engine, revamped user interface, new hidden collectibles, and support for more platforms. Additionally, owners of the original game will receive a 50% discount on Steam during the first week after launch, making it an enticing offer for those looking to revisit the world of OneShot.
OneShot, originally created in RPGMaker, pushed the boundaries of the DIY engine and captivated players with its unique storytelling and immersive gameplay. The game’s ability to break the fourth wall and engage players in a way that felt personal and meaningful set it apart from traditional RPGs. With the remastered edition, developers aim to bring this experience to a wider audience by making the game accessible on Steam Deck and other handheld devices.
Initial impressions of OneShot: World Machine Edition have been positive, with players praising the game’s engaging story and lovable characters. John, a reviewer, remarked, “I’ve never played a game like OneShot. It’s been a long time since I’ve cared about a game’s main character so much, to the point where decisions really mattered to me.” This sentiment echoes the sentiments of many fans who have been eagerly awaiting the release of the remastered edition.
OneShot’s gameplay mechanics, which often required players to navigate their own desktop directories as part of the story, added a layer of immersion and interactivity that was both innovative and impactful. While some fans may feel that this magic is lost in the remastered edition, the inclusion of a fictional operating system that serves as a stand-in for the player’s folders aims to capture the spirit of the original gameplay experience.
As OneShot: World Machine Edition prepares to make its debut on Steam, fans of the original game and newcomers alike are eager to see how the remastered version stacks up. While the asking price for the remastered edition may give pause to those who already own the original, the promise of a fresh take on a beloved game makes it a compelling choice for players looking to embark on a new adventure from the comfort of their own handheld device.
