Publisher Playtonic Friends and developer Knight Shift Games have released a new trailer for side-scrolling roguelike action platformer Elsie introducing the game’s Guardians.
Here are the latest details, via Playtonic Friends:
Save the Guardians from Corruption
You play as the android Elsie, embarking on a quest to clean up the world she calls home. Uncover the mystery behind the attack and save planet Ekis in this rogue-like neon platformer.
Start your journey in Sapir Wharf, a haven for all survivors of the attacks on Dr Grey’s city. Traverse through a multitude of environments from luscious forests, a volcanic grotto and more to find out why the Guardians have gone missing and save them from the corruption that’s taken over.
Get Parrying
One of the core mechanics that makes Elsie stand out is how the playable characters parry. Both Elsie and Andru can parry just about any attack. Whether an enemy is blasting bullets or dealing melee swings, the player can parry into it, using it both as a defensive ability as well as an offensive maneuver. Get parrying to return much-needed stamina and perform lightning-fast counterattacks destroying your enemies and projectiles.
Elsie is due out for Switch and PC via Steam in 2023.
