BrewOtaku is a retro homebrew gaming magazine “where new games keep old systems alive”. We cover fresh games for old consoles, handhelds, and computers. Dealing with limitations of very old systems is a passion and an art in itself, and still, coders out there can get the most out of the least and release fresh games regular!

Shadow Gangs is a Shinobi inspired Dreamcast Kickstarter Project, currently seeking for money. A mere of 10.000 UK Pounds is missing for now.

While the game is already available via Steam, certainly a Dreamcast release would have it’s very own charm. There is a public demo too, just go ahead and try it out. Let’s see if we sometime soon can enjoy some arcade Ninja style arcade action on our beloved Dreamcast.
