World to the West, the standalone sequel to Teslagrad, is available now on the eShop for twenty bucks!
World to the West is a cartoony, top down action adventure title inspired by European adventure comics. You take control of four characters, each with their own unique skill-sets: there's Lumina the Teslamancer, Knaus the orphan, Miss Teri the mind bender and the mustachioed strongman, Lord Clonington. Each character has their own motivations, storylines and abilities, and all are hoping to stop an ancient, dark prophesy from coming to fruition.
The cool thing about this game, which can safely be compared to Zelda: A Link to the Past, is that you don't really have to fight anyone. You can absolutely take em down with combat, or you can avoid them, or deal with them in a number of different ways. Heavy on puzzling and exploration, World to the West will have you traveling through corrupt colonies, lush jungles and frozen tundras as you uncover secrets of a lost civilization.
"World to the West is about the joy of discovery," says Peter Meldahl, CEO of Rain Games. "In this action adventure, we have drawn from the genre's rich past. It has also been a joy to experiment with a range of mechanics that have never been tried in a game like this before." A vast world of blue skies and dark caves awaits our fearless adventurers, as they try to unveil the mysteries of an ancient prophecy... and hopefully find a way back home!
World to the West is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch now.
