Brought to life with an incredible handcrafted, stop-motion visual style, Judero has just arrived on the Xbox Store.
Inspired by the rich folk history of the Scottish Borders, Judero from Talha & Jack Co and NAISU, is now available exclusively on Xbox Series X|S for £14.99.
Prepare to travel through a beautiful and mysterious landscape, possess your enemies to gain new abilities, and uncover an evil that is manipulating the unguarded.
A Handcrafted World
What makes Judero so immediately striking is its unique visual presentation. The game is made from handcrafted objects and bespoke figurines, animated in the stop-motion tradition. And hopefully that means it plays like the brilliant Harold Halibut.
These real-life elements are then rendered into a 3D world, complete with digital techniques like real-time lighting and post-processing effects, to evoke a unique and nostalgic visual style. The cinematic cutscenes are also made using traditional stop-motion animation.
This is all accompanied by a musical score that is an homage to traditional British folk music, with acoustic instrumentation that is authentic to the originals.
A Tale from the Scottish Borders
In Judero, you play as the titular hero, a Celt who can establish a rapport with the nature around him. Your journey will take you through a handcrafted landscape as you discover that there is an evil at work, manipulating the unguarded people and creatures of the land.
You will need to strike and dodge your way through a myriad of foes, culminating in a series of exciting and unique boss challenges.
This is where the gameplay gets really interesting. Judero has the ability to take on the form of lesser creatures, which will greatly expand his abilities. You can use these enchanted minions not only in combat but also to solve a variety of puzzles.
The world of Judero is full of secrets and discoveries to find, from simple collectibles to whole optional storylines. You’ll discover the lore through a rich text system with branching dialogues, and the pace of the game is varied by a number of diverse mini-games, each with their own mechanics and visual styles.
