Kick a frying pan into the air between two unsuspecting victims and deflect bullets off it in either direction. Dive between two platforms and aim one weapon at each, hitting both sides of the screen at the same time. With the ability slow down time and yield two weapons at once, every enemy represents an opportunity to defeat them in ways never before imagined. Reminiscent of Max Payne and his death-defying, slow-motion antics, and Sega Genesis 1995 beat ‘em up title Comix Zone for its level design, My Friend Pedro has been carefully curated to offer second to second combat that is as peaceful as it is violent.

It didn’t take long to realise that ‘ballet’ was not a typo: the graceful poise and calculated beauty with which you can engage in combat in this run and gun experience is nothing short of majestic. Offering high-octane running and gunning on the Nintendo eShop listing, My Friend Pedro is described as ‘ a violent ballet about friendship, imagination, and one man’s struggle to obliterate anyone in his path at the behest of a sentient banana.’Īssuming that ‘ballet’ was a typo, I jumped in to see just what this banana-wielding action title was all about. Adept at finding and supporting the latest and greatest development teams in bringing their indie creations to the market, they have a track record of excellence: A pe Out, Minit and Gato Robato to name a few. With Devolver Digital at the helm of publishing, I knew I was in for quite the experience. With a sadistic grin and a perky outlook, my friend, Pedro, led me along an unpredictable and unnerving quest through the heart and soul of the internet…īased on a free-to-play browser release entitled MFP: My Friend Pedro back in 2014, the Deadtoast developed entry releasing in 2019 is a culmination of work by experienced game devs who had the desire to see it get the attention it deserves. Smiling at me, it informed me of our plans for the day. I awoke to the sound of a banana chatting away as it hovered above my head.
