Wonder Boy in Monster World Inspired Retro Arcade AGGELOS Now Out on PC and Soon on Console

Prepare to discover a world full of Wonder on consoles and PC

PQube (London, UK) – PQube, LookAtMyGame and developer Wonderboy Bobi are pleased to unveil Aggelos, a new, retro-styled 2D action-adventure out now on PC and coming to consoles later this year.

Step through time and discover a mesmerizing new action-RPG that looks like it was plucked straight out of the 16-bit era but plays like a modern-day marvel. Inspired by non-linear Japanese retro adventures such as Wonder Boy In Monster World, Aggelos hurls players into the middle of a colossal struggle for survival as beings from another dimension threaten to invade the peaceful Kingdom of Lumen.

Bursting with secrets and side-quests, and boasting slick melee combat that any 2D action game would envy, Aggelos is the perfect combination of retro style and modern-day game design

KEY FEATURES

  • A vast kingdom to explore – Venture through forests, seas, cave systems and ancient temples as you seek to uncover the magical elements needed to save the world from total annihilation.
  • A classical non-linear adventure – Explore a sprawling world that gradually reveals itself, Metroidvania-style, as you gain new abilities and equipment.
  • Deadly encounters – Thwart towering bosses and their tricky minions as you take on perilous mainline quests and optional odd-jobs for the people of Lumen.
  • Tactical depth – Unlock magical abilities and high-level attacks, expertly chaining these immense powers together to clear screens of enemies in seconds.
  • Stunning sprite art – Forget out-of-place modern art: Aggelos boasts superlative character designs and animations while remaining proudly, and faithfully, 16-bit through and through.
  • Memorable chiptunes – Lose yourself to a retro-inspired soundtrack that floods the Kingdom of Lumen with life.

Check Out the Aggelos Steam Launch Trailer:

Aggelos is now available on PC via Steam for $14.99 / £11.39 / €12.49 and is heading to Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One soon in 2018.
