  • Inzen Studio — 5 game developers met at the Singapore-MIT Gambit Game Lab. They’d worked on a couple of kick-ass games before, ranging from a cult-hit fighting game that was almost violence perfected, to a popular vertical shooter involving some seriously enraged dots which you controlled by literally sketching out awesome attack formations. Though they had a lotof fun at the time, they wanted to create more immersive play experiences.. especially ones involving Giant Mecha Gorillas! Enter Inzen Studio.Starting in Oct 2012, Inzen Studio is now a band of 11 fired up developers across Singapore, Uruguay and China.Inzen draws inspiration from Asian entertainment throughout the years. Being big fans of manga, anime and the games that were released in the 90s, we cheered when Shōhoku faced off against Sannoh, we laughed when Ultraman forgot how to activate his powers and we felt awesome when we punched our Sega Saturn controllers like Segata Sanshiro.
