About
Travel through time and discover a fascinating new action RPG that looks as though it was taken from the 16-bit era, but has wonderful modern gameplay! Inspired by non-linear Japanese adventures such as Wonder Boy in Monster World, Aggelos places players in the middle of a colossal fight for survival, as beings from another dimension threaten to invade the peaceful Kingdom of Lumen. Full of secrets and side quests, and boasting close-quarters combat that any 2D action game would envy, Aggelos is the perfect combination of retro style and modern game design.
