Discover a captivating new action RPG that looks as though it was taken from the 16-bit era, but whose gameplay is a modern marvel! Inspired by nonlinear Japanese adventures such as Wonder Boy in Monster World, Aggelos places players in the middle of a colossal struggle for survival as beings from another dimension threaten to invade the peaceful Kingdom of Lumen. Packed with secrets and side quests, and boasting melee combat that would be the envy of any 2D action game, Aggelos is the perfect combination of retro style and modern game design.
Main features:
A vast kingdom to explore — Venture through forests, seas, cave systems, and ancient temples as you seek the magical elements needed to save the world from total annihilation;
A classic nonlinear adventure — Explore an expanding world that gradually reveals itself in Metroidvania style as you gain new abilities and equipment;
Deadly encounters — Stop imposing bosses and their deceitful minions as you tackle dangerous main quests;
Tactical depth — Unlock magical abilities and high-level attacks to "clear" screens of enemies in seconds.
Stunning sprite art — Forget modern art: Aggelos features superb character designs and animations while remaining proudly and faithfully 16-bit.
Memorable chiptunes — Prepare for a retro-inspired soundtrack that floods the Kingdom of Lumen with life.
