The game’s short trailer gives a really great showcase of the impressive manoeuvres possible, bringing to mind the classic puzzle-platforming of games like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Jak and Daxter, and, yes, granddaddy parkour champ Mario.Īs well as moving around, you’ll come up against enemies in need of a lampin’, with combat similarly built around the fast-flowing movement. Pseudoregalia looks absolutely fantastic in motion, offering what looks to be a hugely flexible and agile movement system that allows Sybil to scale levels by leaping between platforms, scaling poles, ruling up and along walls, performing air jumps and dashes, and more. The game is a 3D Metroidvania set in the dreamlike Castle Sansa, which heroine Sybil must escape by exploring the open-ended castle and finding a way out.

Aside from the name and presence of tanks, this game bears little resemblance to the original arcade game of the same name. Pseudoregalia emerged as the winner of a month-long Metroidvania game jam run over on indie haven Itch.io earlier this year, before dev rittz decided to expand the original build - developed in a mere three weeks - with a fuller edition featuring more levels, a story and revamped visuals. Battlezone is a first-person shooter real-time strategy video game, developed and published by Activision.It was released for Microsoft Windows in 1998. In even better news, I won’t have to wait long to play it, as it’s out on Steam next week. Then, I see a game like Pseudoregalia and feel that burst of excitement at the chance to double-jump, wall-run and parkour my way around the world.

Sometimes, it feels like the age of the classic 3D platformer is long behind us.
