Platformers pose a challenge to innovate upon, as the genre has been around for ages. However, Team Stargazers has brought forth a fresh take with Aureole - Wings of Hope, where players embrace the role of angels and engage in a unique gameplay where they toss a ring to vanquish foes.
The game introduces you to a storyline where the security of Heaven has waned, allowing a muscular devil and his henchmen to roam free. As players, you will step into the shoes of Ramila, a carefree angel, working alongside Ryleth, who becomes an enchanted ring after a fierce battle.
Game mechanics allow players to control the ring with precision, executing directional jumps and slams while navigating through levels. The level design is constructed to challenge the player’s skills, pushing for speed runs that evoke excitement similar to classics like Sonic the Hedgehog.
Gameplay Features:
- Dynamic physics-based mechanics: The ring interacts with its environment, bouncing off walls and scaling surfaces like half-pipes.
- Multiple control options: Players can double-jump, dash, and slam to navigate the challenges posed by the levels.
Aureole – Wings of Hope is set to debut at a price point of approximately $12.50/£11, with a 25% discount available until May 29.
