News: A new platformer is now available on Microsoft’s platform that was inspired by some of the great games in the industry.

A new 3D platformer titled “Effie” is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S from Klabater. Effie is a magical adventure inspired by old-school games such as Rayman 3, MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank or Jak & Daxter saga. It was developed during PlayStation Talents Games Camp, a local development programme in Valencia, by Spanish developers from Inverge Studio. At first, launched exclusively on PlayStation 4 on June 4th 2019, following with the Steam release half a year later. Inverge Studio partnered with Klabater to adapt Effie to Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles. You can now purchase the game on Microsoft and Xbox stores. The Switch version release is planned for Q1 2021.

Effie is a 3D action-adventure game that combines the classic elements of the genre, such as combat, platforming and puzzles, with the exploration of an expanded world. In the game, you play as Galand, a young man in his quest to recover his youth after a witch cursed him with premature old age. A powerful black magic controls the cities of the region of Oblena and to face evil, you will have to carry a magic shield called Runestone. This shield has a very important role in your adventure because it will be your only weapon and tool. It will allow you to defend yourself, to fight and to surf across the red grassland.

Some of the games that helped inspire Effie include the following:

The Legend of Zelda - Saga

Ratchet and Clank

A Hat in Time

RiME

Abzu

Yooka-Laylee

Rayman - Saga

Spyro

Crash Bandicoot

Effie is available on Xbox right now for $19.99. It will arrive on the Nintendo Switch soon in “Q1 2021”. Take a look at the trailer below and then tell us what you think. Will you be downloading Effie?
