Tokyo-based developer Crim has released additional details and screenshots of their upcoming project El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. The game was officially revealed for PC back in February 2021 and after a decent reaction by fans of the video game, the developer has now revealed additional details and additional screenshots of the title as well. The game is slated for release on PC in mid-April 2021.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron combines mechanics from different elements with its rich and detailed storyline. It is presented in a glorious anime-style graphical presentation that changes dramatically as the player progresses through a totally mesmeric experience. With the recent rise of the graphical novel games, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron offers something that goes far beyond the confines in action, strategy, and platforming.
The game follows the story of a scribe who is seeking seven fallen angels to prevent a great flood from destroying mankind. Accompanying him on the journey is Lucifel who is a guardian angel in charge of the protection of the world and exists outside of the flow of time alongside four Archangels: Micheal, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. The story is heavily inspired by the apocryphal Book of Enoch.
Coming to the gameplay of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, players will spend a great amount of time in fighting and confrontations and they will learn a large number of moves and actions to be able to progress further in the game. Abilities like Guard Break, Counter Attack, Unarmed Attack, Double and Single Jumping, Dive Attack and, Special Airborne Attack will help players to take on a multitude of enemies.
Apart from these abilities, players can also steal weapons from enemies and use them against them apart from a combination of Special Moves that add an intuitive learning curve to the gameplay of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. There are also different Boost Skills in the game that you can use in the game to make combat more effective. The story holds different surprises for players in the game whether it is the story, the backdrops or the cast of amazing characters.
Each chapter in the game has various levels and each level is filled with multiple enemies for you to battle. Levels are of various types such as Battle Stages or Movement Stages. While their name might suggest that they are completely different but sometimes you will face some battles in Movement Stages as well. Different actions in the Movement Stages will help you reach the next stage or sometimes even take you straight to a Battle Stage for combat.
There are three unique types of weapons in the game. Each weapon in the game has its own quality, strengths, and weaknesses, giving players a decent choice to choose a weapon according to their playstyle. The strengths and weaknesses of these weapons are based on the classic rock, paper scissors formula where one weapon might be stronger against one thing but another weapon might be weaker against that particular thing. Enoch’s health is also dependent on how much armor you are currently wearing.
The developer has promised to share additional details about the game in the coming days prior to its release so make sure that you keep checking back here as we will be covering the title until its full release next month.
