Introduction
The Cursed Legacy Kickstarter has officially launched, with indie teams Broke Studio and GGS Studio Creation opening a crowdfunding campaign on Monday, 16 September 2024 at 15:00 BST.
The project is billed as a retro-inspired action/exploration game and follows the developers’ previous release, The Cursed Knight, which was published for PC via Steam.
Campaign details and rewards
The Kickstarter lists multiple tiers for backers.
For €10 supporters can claim a digital copy of The Cursed Legacy for Steam and a cartridge build for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
Physical options include a complete-in-box Mega Drive/Genesis edition priced between €45 and €50.
A premium special edition is also on offer for €700; that higher-tier package includes a modded, painted and serviced Mega Drive Model 1 console, a copy of The Cursed Knight, and additional extras as specified on the campaign page.
The developers note that rewards are currently expected to ship in March 2025.
Project description (journalistic rewrite)
On the Kickstarter page the teams describe The Cursed Legacy as an action/exploration title rooted in the "die and retry" design ethos and intended as a tribute to 1990s games.
The campaign text highlights that the game mixes run-and-gun elements with exploration and includes a set of mini-games to expand replay value.
Features listed by the developers
- Six action stages
- Thirteen bosses
- Run-and-gun action platformer segments
- Metroid-like exploration phases
- Five mini-games
- Save functionality
Development context and history
Broke Studio and GGS Studio Creation released a demo of the sequel during early development, and the teams previously launched The Cursed Knight on PC via Steam.
The new Kickstarter campaign also follows an earlier update in which the developers revealed cover art for The Cursed Legacy.
The project is being positioned as a modern homebrew-style release targeting Sega’s 16-bit hardware while also offering a contemporary Steam build.
What to watch
Backers who want to support the project can view the campaign on Kickstarter to inspect reward details and shipping estimates.
Verified timelines published in the campaign indicate a March 2025 shipping window for physical rewards; any further release dates for retail storefronts or additional platforms will depend on updates directly from Broke Studio and GGS Studio Creation.
