PQube, LookAtMyGame and Wonderboy Bobi have announced Aggelos. Aggelos is a new, retro-styled 2D action-adventure coming to Switch later this year.
Here’s some additional information and a trailer:
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.
