Say goodbye to the next few hours of your day! A demo has just been released for Treasure Adventure World, Robit Studios' upcoming sequel to 2011's Treasure Adventure Game. The demo contains two large islands and a temple to explore, along with a handful of items to find and plenty of sailing.
Treasure Adventure World is a side-scrolling open-world metroidvania game that's set to do everything Treasure Adventure Game did, only with more of everything! Search for hidden artefacts, sail the choppy seas, fight foes and discover clues to your character's mysterious past, all in glorious HD widescreen with hi-res artwork. And from the teasers released so far, that's only the beginning!
Treasure Adventure World pre-orders are still open. No firm release date has been set, but the team thinks the end of the first quarter of 2014 is a safe bet.
You should mention it's Windows only as per the download page.
I didn't even bother finishing the demo. I'm so disappointed. Granted it's just a demo and the "This is just a dream" cop out was clever, but it was way too laggy. I love the original, it is the best platformer game I have ever played. I really don't think it needed a swish reboot. I suspect this may appeal to people that haven't played the original, the graphics look great but I think it loses the charm the pixel graphics had. And why go to all the trouble of updating all the design but still have pixel text? One last gripe, the whole thing feels too zoomed in. I liked feeling small in a big world. It made the original seem epic (which it was) but here it feels like I'm not seeing everything I should. Hopefully this will find it's target audience but I'm sadly unenthused.
WOW Treasure Adventure World demo now available! I was waiting for it. When complete version will be published ?
