Black Future '88 is a Roguelike Run-and-Gun game that was developed by Super Scary Snakes, published by Good Shepherd Entertainment, and released for PC through Steam and on Nintendo Switch on November 21st, 2019. It is very fast and can be played alone or in co-op.It is set in a particularly dark Cyberpunk world where a crazed billionaire named Duncan has begun a nuclear bombardment of the Earth in 1988, which hasn't stopped since, to the point none of the survivors are even sure how much time has passed, and prefer to think it's still 1988 out of convenience. Now, you control one of the 5 available characters and must scale an ever-evolving tower of Skymelt, whose floors are full of guards and drones in order to finally put an end to Duncan's carnage. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Black Future '88 (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: The guards don't bleed when they die, and instead they instantly turn black and fall into the background. | |

A Winner Is You | |
| Black Future '88 (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: Beating the game by killing Duncan presents you with the following message: Duncan is dead and The Echoplex has been destroyed, but you must go back in time. Your time in Skymelt is far from over. | |

Mad Scientist | |
| Black Future '88 (Video Game) / int_3517000d | comment |
Mad Scientist: Duncan, who essentially created the entire tower of Skymelt just so that he could destroy the world on what is pretty much a whim. While playing the game, he'll say some line every time you reach a new level (and one upon his death) but they are all faux-philosophical statements like "And the gods of the tower whispered their secrets through a hole in the air." or "To live deliciously was my only sin", which only accentuate his madness. Dr. Avalanche should also count, since he is clearly another scientist and seems to willingly serve Duncan for whatever reason. You don't really learn anything about him, though, while he looks less like a stereotypical scientist and more like an anime villain with a nice suit, bright white hair and a laser sword. | |

| Black Future '88 (Video Game) / int_4292ebbf | comment |
Doppelgänger Attack: Dr. Avalanche can create multiple shadow doppelgangers, all of whom will then simultaneously fire a burst from their pistols. You can interrupt this by managing to hit the real one out of the group. | |

| Black Future '88 (Video Game) / int_aafdef28 | comment |
Video Game Dashing: Present by default. Getting boss cores also lets you add upgrades like a Local Power Nullifier, which displaces all the enemy projectiles in the vicinity, or Juno Core, which leaves a damaging laser beam in your wake. A Saving Grace upgrade even gives you a chance to heal when dashing through the bullets. | |

Our Weapons Will Be Boxy in the Future: The guns of Skymelt's guards are all certainly much more rectangular than any weapon in the real-world 1988. | |

Jet Pack: The more elite guard varieties can stay constantly airborne thanks to these. A boss named Uberheim also possesses a jet pack, though he only occasionally uses it as he often prefers to outright melee the player. | |
