Stranger Things gets a retro-style video game adaptation ahead of the season 2 premiere

Two things I can probably guess about you right now - you're interested or at least a little curious about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things on Netflix, and ditto for video games. And if 🦹I'm correct, then I've got news for you: Netflix is publishing a Strꦓanger Things game, and it's available now on iOS and Android.
Stranger Things: The Game plays almost like an old-school Legend of Zelda game, only instead of bokoblins and dungeons, you're taking on shady government figures, dodging flashlights, and exploring the town sewers. The story is a quasi-recap of the plot from Stranger Things season 1, albeit with some embellishments for gameplay's sake. At least I don't think I remember any of the boys do🐼ing sweet flips to earn Eggo tokens, or Chief Hopper punching his way thro💮ugh a government lab filled with lasers... All told, there's at least 10 hours of gameplay, 7 playable characters to choose from, 6 'dungeons' and over 30 quests.
There's a few more action-oriented, side-scrolling chase scenes as well, but regardless of what you're doing, it's all presented in a throwback retro style. Not quite as retro as the show itself (season 2 takes place in 1984, meaning these graphics are way🐻 too advanced for the time) bu🌠t it's still quite charming.
The really good news is that it's completely free. No in-app purchases, no initial pricetag. I would say the game also lacks ads, but I mean... it basically is one big advertise🐈ment for season 2. And with the series set to return on O𝔍ctober 27, that's fine by me!
