Publisher PQube has revealed the release date for its upcoming action-adventure RPG title, Aggelos. You'll be able to get your retro-loving hands on it from 25th April.

We first heard about this one last summer, when it was revealed that the game was inspired by non-linear Japanese retro adventures such as Wonder Boy In Monster World. PQube has described it as a "dream-come-true for Metroidvania fans" - a rather bold claim indeed.

Still, it has gathered "very positive" user reviews on Steam since its launch last June so it could definitely be a Switch release worth keeping an eye on and, speaking of Steam, the game's store page provides with a handy feature list to explore:

Features:
A vast kingdom to explore: Venture through forests, seas, cave systems and ancient temples as you seek to uncover the magical elements needed to save the world from total annihilation.
A classical non-linear adventure: Explore a sprawling world that gradually reveals itself, Metroidvania-style, as you gain new abilities and equipment.
Deadly encounters: Thwart towering bosses and their tricky minions as you take on perilous mainline quests and optional odd-jobs for the people of Lumen.
Tactical depth: Unlock magical abilities and high-level attacks, expertly chaining these immense powers together to clear screens of enemies in seconds.
Stunning sprite art: Forget out-of-place modern art: Aggelos boasts superlative character designs and animations while remaining proudly, and faithfully, 16-bit through and through.
Memorable chiptunes: Lose yourself to a retro-inspired soundtrack that floods the Kingdom of Lumen with life.
