Play the Sci-Fi Adventure Game XEL Now on PC and Switch

XEL is a new sci-fi adventure game from developer Tiny Roar and publisher Assemble Entertainment. The game just launched on PC and Nintendo Switch and was made as “a love letter to classic Zelda games and other genre-defining top-down RPGs[.]” The game looks like a lot of fun, and I wish I had the time to play it. The game has you exploring a mysterious world with time travel and more to discover what secrets and dark past it may hold.

Shipwrecked on an unfamiliar world, players take on the role of Reid, an unexpected heroine to the world she’s stranded on. Devoid of her past memories, Reid must traverse this strange planet, battling enemies and solving puzzling dungeons along the way. Partnered with her sassy companion Chap, Reid must unearth the secrets hiding in this forgotten world and reveal the connection she has to it, or else risk being trapped in the same pattern of destruction she is tasked with ending.

You can play XEL now on Switch and PC (via Steam and GOG) with a special 20% off introductory price! This price won’t last forever, so hurry and grab it while you can. If you play on PlayStation or Xbox, you’ll have to wait until later this year to enjoy it.
