Forums - Nintendo - Icarian: Kindred Spirits

 

This is the first game from Over Top Studios, it´s called Ikarian Kindred Spirits, based on greek fables and tales about Ikarus. The game presents 2.5D enviroment, with greek mithologies ambients and a gameplay like Lost Winds, the artworks are based on the paints from Giorgio de Cirico, and the usage of light and shadows effects to make a beeter visual concept.

Over the top Games is a developers team from Spain, they where members of PYRO Studios (actually bankrupt). They decided start their work on Wiiware because are only four persons, obviusly haven´t resourses for a big game on fisic format.

This game features in the first rol to NYX, who have the mission to find IKARUS, her lost friend, to make it will have avaible many powers from the gods, what be used with the wiimote screen pointing, and offers a cooperative mode where first player takes care of NYX moves and the second wil use the god´s powers.

The game it´s divided in level, but the continious story mode is designed for most players be careless of this, and they still don´t know if will make some downlodable content.

the members of over the top games are the four o the center.

The game don´t have yet a release date, but team says they want made the game the better posible.

Looks good !!



Looks cool, but I can see people trying to compare it to Kid Icarus.



Pacman taught people to run around in dark rooms munching on pills while listening to repettive techno music and for that I somewhat idolise him.

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

J FAVS, it´s just similar, because they use as inspiration the same tale. Maybe they heard the rumor of kid ikarus for and take advantage, but this is real and kid ikarus still being rumor, by the moment (and I hope be real).

Improvements are caused by people who complain

FYI Pyro Studios were responsible for Commandos awesomeness (until they destroyed the series with the FPS game, which I must believe it was forced by Eidos)

looks really good!



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

That would be true, but with Pit in SSBB, more people got to know Kid Icarus.

Looks good and even sounds like a promising two player adventure.
