2D Retro Sci-Fi Platformer Exile’s End Is Out Now On PS4 And Vita

Marvelous Europe today announces that the retro-styled 2D sci-fi platformer, Exile’s End, is now available for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system in Europe and Australia.

Exile’s End is a dark and futuristic 2D side-scroller offering adventure-style puzzles, tightly-controlled platforming, and dangerous extraterrestrials. The game was developed as an homage to early ’90s action-adventure PC games, drawing heavy gameplay inspiration from classics of the genre as well as thematic influence from ’80s sci-fi films and anime. Boasting uniquely stylised cutscenes, multiple endings, and an atmospheric soundtrack by Keiji Yamagishi of Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Super Bowl fame, Exile’s End will have players investigate a massive, interconnected alien world and experience a story filled with ancient riddles and modern-day hubris.

Backed by Japanese publisher Marvelous Inc. and originally released for Windows PC, Mac and Linux via Steam, Exile’s End is a collaboration between Tokyo-based indie game developer Matt Fielding and many talented local industry veterans, including art by staff from titles such as Secret of Mana, Mother 3 and more.

Developed by Magnetic Realms and published in Europe by XSEED Games, Exile’s Endhas entered orbit digitally on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita systems via the PlayStation Store in Europe for £7.99/€9.99. More information on the Wii U™ digital release will be provided at a later time. This title has been rated PEGI 12, USK 6, and PG by the ACB.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
