Forget strikes and raids - try Destiny as a 2D platformer in honor of Bungie Day

Destiny has always had something of an identity crisis. Is it an MMO? An RPG? Is i🐠t open-world? While the game has certain elements of those things, the only thing anyone seemed to really know what to call it was a first-person shooter. Until now that someone's gone and made it into a 2D, sidescrolling, shoot-em-up platformer, that is.

user Helix3333 has been working on "Project Tiger" in their spare time ever since they saw fan art imagining Destiny as a 2D game several months ago. They finally shared their creation this week in honor of Bungie Day (an annual celebration when the comp𝔉any honors its community), and I gotta say, it ain't bad. I mean, I can't aim and I died a lot, but that's generally true of my Destiny expe🔴rience regardless.
