Take control of Craig and wipe out the rogue game sprites as you attempt to recover the stolen games and save the entire Revival retro event!Features:Single-player arcade mode with progressive stage difficulty2-Player head-to-head deathmatch mode60fps action utilising the latest Next hardware featuresArcade-perfect port with additional stages, content and control optionsOriginally created as a custom game for Revival Retro Events by Turnarcades in 2013, Revival Survival is a frantic blend of various classic gaming genres that was made into a dedicated custom arcade machine the following year.
