PQube has revealed its latest retro-styled action-adventure game Aggelos, coming to Nintendo Switch later this year.

Looking like it was plucked straight out of the 16-bit era, Aggelos is a modern-day take on games of the past inspired by non-linear Japanese retro adventures such as Wonder Boy In Monster World. The game hurls players into the middle of a colossal struggle for survival, as beings from another dimension threaten to invade the peaceful Kingdom of Lumen.

There are secrets and side-quests, 2D action melee combat, and various magical abilities to discover. You can check out the game's feature list below.

Features:

Deadly encountersThwart towering bosses and their tricky minions as you take on perilous mainline quests and optional odd-jobs for the people of Lumen.

The game has just launched today on Steam and is expected to arrive on Switch "soon" in 2018. We'll make sure to keep an eye on this one as it gets nearer to release.
