Platformers are making a comeback right now, and the latest 90’s inspired offering looks to tell a story on two levels – dream-based and reality. Will you discover tragic reality behind the vibrant world of Pankapu?
Pankapu follows a troubled child, plagued by a tragic incident, goes on an epic and naive journey inside a dream world. The child in question, Djaha’rell, must transform between three Aegis – Warrior, Archer and Mage – whenever necessary, in order to avoid traps and defeat enemies in this colourful action platformer. Awaiting Djaha’rell is the Prince of Nightmares, Gangreyn, and defeating him is the only way to fulfil this child’s destiny. In doing so, you’ll uncover the fable of Pankapu and the real-world tragic life of Djaha’rell.
Those looking to recapture the magic of 90’s platformers can do so in Pankapu on the Xbox One by heading over to the Xbox Games Store and relinquishing a cash amount of £9.59. Gamers on the PlayStation 4 and PC will need to venture to their own respective stores to pick it up.
