News: A new adventure is almost here that uses classic Zelda titles as an inspiration for its space time travel adventure.

XEL will arrive on Nintendo Switch and PC next week bringing a world of wonder and danger, whimsical characters, and a quest that involves space-time travel. Spaceship-wrecked on the alien world of XEL, Reid must venture out and begin to piece together her broken memories. A love letter to classic Zelda titles, XEL evokes the nostalgic spirit of classic top-down dungeon crawlers. A true passion project from the devs, the world of XEL merges familiar ideas with updated mechanics, all woven together in an intense sci-fi mystery. The planet XEL holds a sinister secret, with darkness lurking across space and time. Aid Reid in solving the mystery of her history, lest both her and the world she’s somehow connected to be doomed.

Some of the key features for XEL include the following:

Old school meets new school in this Zelda-inspired adventure where vibrant environments and deceptive enemies complement classic top-down gameplay

Utilize mind-bending time travel to solve puzzles and progress through otherwise impossible challenges

It’s dangerous to go alone; partner with a kind-yet-spunky robot named Chap to join you in battle and the quest to uncover Reid’s cryptic past
