Aggelos

Aggelos treads a path many others have followed in recent years, but it does it all with a charm of its own.

Overall, this is a great little retro adventure that doesn't outstay its welcome. It plays like a top tier title from back in the day, presents you with the sort of gameplay you want and expect from this type of game and serves it all up at a pace with such consistent quality that it's hard not to be won over, no matter how fatigued you may be by the idea of another blast of old school pixel action.

It may not be as frustrating as the classic games it is trying to imitate but it is no less challenging. The graphics and musical choices are some of the most calculated choices in retro-style games that make Aggelos feel like a re-release of a 30 year old game which I think was the point here.

Aggelos is a pleasant game that should interest every fan of classic adventure games. Its gameplay and style are a mix of Wonder Boy and Shovel Knight/Hollow Knight. Music, graphics and controls are simple, but surprisingly good.

The game is highly recommended and a gem to have in our collection. It has recently been marketed in physical format for a ridiculous price (€ 19.95 for PS4 and € 24.95 in the case of Nintendo Switch), so I would personally recommend that if you like the genre, go for it, It will make you have a great time reliving what has been a very dear time for video games for me.

Aggelos is executed with the bright-eyed innocence of someone who loves Wonder Boy and Metroidvania. While it does little to innovate, it succeeds in providing a well-crafted, intricate world that leaves you with a lasting sense of discovery.

Aggelos it's a time travel, an adventure in the vein of those that we enjoyed in the 16-bit era, An oversaturated genre even in Switch (pixel art, platforming and 2D metroidvania action) with a style of gameplay adapted to nowaday tastes. It's not an innovative title, but it's fun, pretty and its right pace helps to get hooked till the end.

Aggelos is a memorable adventure game, which brings to the present the best of the past.

Aggelos is a clear homage to the 16 bit classics that will be addictive for veterans and newbies to the metroidvania genre. Despite a very cliche plot and a gameplay a little simplistic, Aggelos is a game that succeed on it's main goals.

It’s a great Metroidvania, action RPG with beautiful retro graphics and audio and fun combat and abilities. A couple old school mechanics may turn some away but otherwise this is a quality title.
