Techno Banter is an unusual but funky game that I previewed last year. I summarised my thoughts as follows: “This is an edgy and niche title that won’t float everyone’s boat. However, I liked its weird characters, excellent environment, and dark humour. On top of this, the promise of additional content makes it even more moreish.” The full preview can be read here if you wish!
I recommended this game as its strange gameplay and incredible music made it stand out from the crowd. Well, now, I’m happy to announce that Crunching Koalas and Dexai Arts have announced the release for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. The release is planned for Q4 2024! So you won’t have to wait too long to get your hands on a copy.
More information on Techno Banter.
It is set in a dystopian city teeming with underground rave culture. Therefore, Techno Banter combines razor-sharp dialogue with pulsating techno beats. Accordingly, players are immersed in a neon-soaked world where they decide who gets past the velvet rope. Players take on the role of a bouncer at the notorious Green Door club, navigating a colourful array of characters. With wit as their weapon, they’ll choose from a variety of clever comebacks to keep the club’s vibe intact, making each night a unique experience.
Techno Banter’s developers, Dexai Arts, are true Berliners. Consequently, it can be felt in the inspiration the game takes from the wonderful and weird underbelly of the techno capital of the world. Having spread long roots in the Berlin DJ scene, they’ve brought many local DJs on board to spin tracks inside the game’s main club, Green Door. Moreover, the game has already gathered some attention, winning the GameStar.de “Find Your Next Game” Indie award, the Reboot Develop Blue Special Selection award, and being featured in this year’s Guerrilla Collective’s Official Selection.
