Sacre Bleu! A Bullet Time Aerial-Ballet Combo Action Platformer, You Say?

I’m sorry, French cousins, but Sacre Bleu always makes me chuckle – as much as Americans think the Brits all say, “Crikey! What’s up guv’nor?”. However, Vulgar Knight is not a cultured website of worldwide customs, no guv’nor, this is a new piece about a bullet time indie from Hildring Studio.

Bullet time isn’t enough: bullet time aerial-ballet combo more like with platforming gameplay, and published by Noodlecake (Art of Rally). That’s a mouthful – maybe it’d entice you to say, Sacre… ok.

The game revolves around a 17th-century jailbreak. You play a musketeer captain, assisted by an inventor who equips you with a steampunk blunderbuss. Nice.

Key features in Sacre Bleu include:

• Bullet time combat as you ricochet through midair!
• Blunderbuss propulsion that can be used as a weapon or for platforming!
• Combat grades that unlock tougher levels to test your skills!
• Stylized action in gorgeous 3D environments!
• Vast prison regions like the armory, sewers full of hidden secrets!
• Speedrunning leaderboards! 

…and the debut announcement trailer:

Sacre Bleu is heading to Steam and the Nintendo Switch in 2024 (dates will be confirmed when the musketeer in question breaks out.
