Something that always improves combat is when you get to juggle enemies midair. That's one thing SkyKeepers does. It also lets you do it amidst wonderfully drawn characters, rich but not overly dense backgrounds, and with the premise of building up your home village with the loot dropping from bad guys.
You are Tangi. You were turned to stone but now emerge, one year later, to deal with the devastation wrought up your people from your enemies. Using the screen as a wide-open canvas, you'll 2D platform your way through stages, hacking baddies, and teleporting yourself around the screen to keep chopping up foes in a midair juggling act. It's all about stringing together combos. But, in addition, even the most basic implementation of base building piques my interest. I'm cool with the Austronesian-inspired characters, too.
SkyKeepers is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. I'd expect an official launch date announcement within the month.
