ITORAH

In this debut title from Grimbart Tales, players take on the role of the warrior ITORAH, with whom they journey through the Mesoamerican-inspired world of Nahucan, which is under threat from a plague.

The game is a 2.5D action platformer whose aesthetic is reminiscent of titles from the 16-bit era, and which stands out in particular for its impressive graphics and its richly detailed, cohesively designed world. Imaginative character and boss designs, fluid animations, a cohesive yet varied colour scheme across the world’s different areas, and a fitting soundtrack combine to create a well-rounded gaming experience. Atmospheric cutscenes alternate with fast-paced platforming sections, which blend seamlessly into the game’s narrative world.
