Apotheon is a cool-looking PC platformer
I always love it when games do something unique with their art direction. And just when you thought that all of the original ideas have been done already, someone comes up with the idea of using classical Greek art to make a 2D platformer. Alientrap is a small Canadian studio that is working on a new game called Apotheon. They recently released two screenshots, and it looks really good. I've never played any of their games, but the last title, Capsized, has a Metacritic score of 80, so this could be an alright game.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Wonder when it releases. Wonder if it'll have co-op. Wonder if this game's premise is an entire civilization's rage toward Link for smashing so many jars. It looks beautiful! But just like with Rayman Origins, I just can't enjoy 2D platformers on my silly LCD TV. All the intricate background details turn into a blurry mess when moving. Time for an upgrade, or a plasma. Nice article, actual able-bodied accounting and actual able-bodied anticipation out. Always auspicious with new writing.καταστήματα ειδών υγιεινής 1:45 PM on 05.23.2013 Why is EarthBound for Wii U listed on Amazon UK?After years of waiting, the SNES underdog classic EarthBound is finally coming to the Wii U eShop in America and Europe.
