Announcement Trailer
How about a trailer you can watch in 4K to really show off the game’s visuals?
This game looks like a blend of some old, but great, platformers combined with some nice third-person views. A touch of Monster Hunter, Pokémon, along with a few others, and it could be a new hit. The game’s developer, Ember Lab, also stated it will not have any microtransactions. Some might wonder if games can even still be made that way. Lastly, it’s incorporated the PlayStation 5 controller’s adaptive triggers in an innovative way. The main character’s primary weapon is a bow, and the tension of the bowstrings will have an effect on the triggers.
Obviously, you will feel the tension of the buttons, but when you pull up the bow and add the elf Rot, you will dynamically feel that Rot is jumping in. Then when we let Rot move from left to right on the screen When you move to the right, you can also feel it moving from left to right in your hand.
