Arcade enthusiasts are in for a surprise with Frog Legs, a bold reimagining of the beloved Frogger that infuses it with the adrenaline-pumping action of Doom-style first-person shooters. Scheduled for release on PC through Steam on May 19, Frog Legs promises a thrilling mix of survival horror and retro FPS gameplay, giving players a fresh take on a timeless classic.

Most gamers are familiar with the iconic arcade game Frogger, where players guide a frog across hazardous roads and rivers while dodging obstacles like cars and alligators. Decades later, this charming yet challenging game is getting a radical makeover, blending its mechanics with the fast-paced intensity of another legendary retro title.

Independent developer Elliott Dahle has unveiled Frog Legs, a horror-action hybrid that merges Frogger's arcade roots with the explosive gunplay of the classic Doom series. Players step into the webbed feet of Carl, a suburban frog abruptly thrust from his peaceful life into a chaotic arcade realm. Carl and his amphibian allies must conquer 2D arcade trials, battle monstrous foes with "retro boomer shooter FPS action," and solve eerie 3D puzzles to find their way home. Described as a "story-driven adventure" packed with humor, Frog Legs is now available for wishlisting on Steam.

Frog Legs seamlessly transitions between 2D and 3D gameplay, weaving together multiple gaming eras and genres. As Carl shifts between his world and the arcade dimension, players encounter survival horror, FPS combat, and classic arcade challenges—offering "a little bit of everything" in one package. Unlike traditional 80s and 90s retro games, Frog Legs includes a convenient auto-save feature at the end of each level, making it easier to jump in and out. Retro gaming fans can look forward to Frog Legs when it hops onto PC on May 19.

Remakes and remasters of classic games continue to captivate audiences, while new titles that blend nostalgia with innovation also thrive. Frog Legs aims to join this wave of retro-inspired games, and fans can stay tuned for more updates on upcoming titles with old-school charm.
