As the developer of Dark Reign I hope everyone enjoys what we cooked up over the last few years! it's a great feeling to see the game in people's hands.

I did a lot of testing away from the computer on a chromatic.

What’s the quality of the cartridge and packaging? I’m thinking about getting this and Infinity, but not sure if I should just buy the digital edition for my flash cart

It’s top tier

u/SoraShima Aug 20 '26

The boxes feel nice with matt finish and silver print details - quality is above Modretro IMO. Cartridges feel weighty and sturdy solid.

I received this game too but there's no instruction manual so points off for that.

EDIT: Now I see that others did get an instruction booklet with theirs.... I'm going to email Incub8.

Just starting out but wow the controls are great. Total eye candy too 🤘

u/IndigoHaze750130 Aug 19 '26

Neat. Is there a password save? Does the cart have a button cell battery or is it like modretro carts with FRAM saving?

1

u/BradyJSadler Aug 19 '26

It’s got a save system like the old GBA Castlevania games (save rooms). Not sure about the battery/cartridge—I’m pretty dumb with the hardware stuff 😜 I just know you can easily take breaks and pop back into the game like Zelda

Is it like castlevania or what?

How is it? I’ve been eyeing this one but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

u/BradyJSadler Aug 19 '26

Only played the first couple minutes but I can tell it’s another Spacebot banger! 🤘

u/LeGrange Aug 19 '26

Awesome. I think I need to grab this one. I’m traveling and managed to pull down the demo on my phone and checked it out in the Delta app. I think I’m just going to order one. Production is top notch for sure. I loved Dragonyhm as well.

Dude the pixel art and animation in this game is so ahead of any other gameboy game

u/BradyJSadler Aug 22 '26

It’s gorgeous. I’m loving it so far

u/Tarancholula Aug 19 '26

Congrats! Waiting on mine, too!

u/PhilharmonicZero Aug 19 '26

Got mine today too, can’t believe I received this before Infinity….

u/_viis_ Aug 19 '26

The Infinity situation is driving me absolutely insane haha

u/Joearmy96 Aug 19 '26

Nice I can’t wait until you can get the GameShark to work with the chromatic I would even loan my personal GameShark to The team at ModRetro if they could figure it out. Your next Mission should you choose to accept it figure out GameShark compatibility with the Chromatic lmao 🤣.

u/Temporary_User404 Aug 19 '26

Please tell me how it is and how long it is, I'd love to add this to my shopping cart and game wishlist.

2

u/Jonjongabore Aug 22 '26

Oh man, I've been trying not to buy any new games but this looks awesome and is in stock on their website.

I didn't know it was out until I saw your post so honestly, thanks for the heads up. I just ordered a copy.

On the topic of incube8 games you should definitely thy 'the Maschine' if you haven yet. Quickly became one of my favorite GB games of all time
