Indie developer Cape Cosmic LLC announced a new exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch called Phoenotopia Awakening. This is an action adventure game with a lot of similarities to Zelda 2, including side-scrolling 2D combat and platforming as well as an overworld designed eerily similar to the original Zelda sequel. It even stars a villager, Gail, whose village gets abducted by space-faring aliens, so she sets out on a quest to save the village and the world, also just like Zelda 2 (Okay. Maybe not that last part.). Check out the trailer for Phoenotopia Awakening below:
So what exactly is Phoenotopia Awakening?
