Publisher Playtonic Friends and developer Knight Shift Games have announced a release date for their roguelike side-scrolling action title, Elsie. It releases on 10th September 2024 as revealed by this trailer, which starts with a stylish animation before showing off some gameplay, and it looks pretty promising.
The game looks pretty frantic, with a combination of platforming, run-and-gunning, and bullet hell. All this combined with procedurally generated stages, a parry mechanic, per-run upgrades, and multiple playable characters makes for an interesting blend.
Here's hoping it can do enough to stand apart from the pack, as pixelated roguelikes are ten a penny these days. What do you make of Elsie? Are you interested in checking it out next month? Let us know in the comments section below.
