Game Geeks News is proud to bring you another great gaming project coming soon to Kickstarter. Brian Gibson of Synthetic Lab Games LLC is a Chicago based independent developer currently working on Mission Critical, a 2D Metroidvania.

Mission Critical is a 2D Metroidvania platformer aimed to release on all major platforms. The Kickstarter campaign will be going live very soon, so be sure to follow Synthetic Lab Games LLC to be notified of the launch.

Devastate enemies with his blaster
Explore the depths of the world Tilos by jumping, sliding, dashing and vaulting through the terrain and hazards.
Obtain clues to his brothers’ whereabouts by finding the encrypted breadcrumbs they leave behind for CD-04.
Find upgrades and modifications to improve his survival and chances to complete his mission.
Encounter dangerous wildlife and aliens
