Developed by Hot Chili Games and currently available as a playable demo, Elypse is a gorgeous, action-packed 2D platformer game that sends you to the Abyss, an infernal and feared world from which you need to escape. In it, you are the newest sacrifice thrown into the darkness.

The premise is simple: You need to escape the Abyss with the help of Nyx. To accomplish that, you have to go through various levels. Be quick on your feet to avoid surprising traps or vicious enemies on the prowl. All of that is set against a well-animated, dark world.

Worth the shot despite its tricky controls

In summary, Elypse promises fun and exciting gameplay, thanks to the combination of its graphics, storyline, and gameplay. While the controls take some time to be learned, the payoff is going to be worth it. Overall, it is a highly recommended game.
