Gagging for a retro fix? Need to scratch that platforming itch? Whipseey and the Lost Atlas may well be able to sort you out as it launches with a super cheap price point on Xbox One.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Whipseey and the Lost Atlas is the latest adventure to come about via Blowfish Studios. Priced up at a mere £4.99, Whipseey takes more than a little inspiration from the classics – the power of Mario, Pokemon and Kirby have all obviously been harnessed.
Whipseey sees you taking on the role of a young boy, Alex, who magically transforms into the titular character in an attempt to make his way through a strange world, solving mystery after mystery and getting the chance to head back home. With many obstacles and foes to overcome – including some rock hard end of stage bosses – Whipseey and the Lost Atlas will certainly be one of those games which will find instant appeal in the retro scene, with one look at the graphical ideas enough to warrant a bit of a purchase.
