About
In Aggelos II players will enjoy lightning-fast combat and precision platforming as they take on the role of an Aggelos, the highest order of angels, chosen by Balro to venture through the Kingdom of Lumen, domain of the supreme God of Light. But, with Lumen under siege and the Gods facing imminent defeat at the hands of the Army of Darkness, players are forced to embrace a shadowy new form to survive the chaos of both light and dark realms.
Building on the retro-style 2D side-scrolling exploration and combat that first introduced players to the Kingdom of Lumen, Aggelos II delivers enhanced visuals and deeper gameplay systems. Players will navigate the labyrinthine landscape of two interconnected worlds, requiring them to carefully chart their path forward before looping back to unlock previously inaccessible areas.
Aggelos II is an explosive action-platformer where lightning-fast combat, precision platforming, and two opposing worlds collide. As an Aggelos, the highest order of angels, you are chosen by Balro to venture through the Kingdom of Lumen, domain of the supreme God of Light. But with Lumen under siege and the Gods facing imminent defeat at the hands of the Army of Darkness, you are forced to embrace a shadowy new form to survive the chaos of both light and dark realms.
While your angelic side favors a slower, disciplined approach, your demon form is highly agile, aggressive, and bristling with dark powers. Mastering the shift between both forms is key to survival, and only by balancing order and chaos can you hope to overcome formidable enemies, deadly obstacles, and challenging puzzles along your path.
