Since their birth in 2015 the Spanish indie devs at Mighty Polygon have attempted to focus on creating original games; games that come with strong narratives and great mechanics. Today they are announcing the upcoming arrival of Relicta on Xbox One, PS4, PC and Google Stadia, with a 2020 launch planned. And one look at the trailer pretty much confirms that this is one to be keeping an eye on.
With the power of Koch Media behind them, Mighty Polygon are looking to go big with Relicta in 2020, launching the the physics-based puzzle game that will be found taking players to the moon on Xbox One, PS4, Google Stadia and PC.
Santi Alex Mañas, Founder of Mighty Polygon, says: “’We are very happy that Relicta is one of the first Spanish games to release on Google Stadia. We hope to deliver unforgettable experiences and lots of fun to the players.”
You can take in the debut trailer below and it’ll give you a first glimpse of your upcoming journey to the enigmatic, derelict Chandra Base. From there you’ll need to hone your scientific skills to save a life and navigate 22nd century orbital politics on your own. But are you really the only entity traversing the lunar craters? Probably not.
Relicta will play out as a first-person physics-based puzzle game that is seen through the eyes of a scientist. And science will play a huge part in how Relicta works too as you’ll need to use your creativity to play with the laws of physics, utilizing magnetism, polarity and gravity to unravel the secrets of a research facility on the moon. Chandra Base will test your scientific skills, as they are the only thing that can keep your daughter alive …
And with Mighty Polygon’s focus on narrative, Relicta will tell many stories, with each step you taking coming across as a new challenge. You will need to find your way around the enigmatic, terraformed craters and investigate different locations and ecosystems. But the question is, do you rush straight ahead and try to reach safety? Or will you take your time to gather clues and unravel the intrigues of 22nd century orbital politics? Just remember that buried in the eternal darkness of the lunar craters lies a secret that might claim your daughter’s life – or change the fate of humanity forever.
For now have a watch of that announcement trailer and then keep your eyes peeled for further info as and when we have it.
