Let me tell you what. GUTS Department got something really awesome in the making with their 2D action platformer “Aegis: Defenders“.

And i´m talking about a mix of “Super Metroid“, “The Legend of Zelda”, “Mega Man”, “Evangelion” and “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind“.

In short, Aegis: Defenders is an epic 16-bit experience (on all levels!). Just look at the awesome graphics, just listen to the beautiful music.

And checkout our gameplay video for Aegis: Defenders. It speaks for itself really. So, please enjoy =)
