El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron- Demo is out now

Quote :: Plot: The story is inspired by the Biblical Book of Enoch, and follows Enoch (voiced by Blake Ritson), a priest seeking seven fallen angels to prevent a great flood from destroying mankind. He is helped in his quest by Lucifel (voiced by Jason Isaacs), a guardian angel in charge of the protection of the world who exists outside of the flow of time, and by four Archangels: Raphael, Uriel, Gabriel, and Michael

Gameplay: El Shaddai is a third-person action game featuring platform game elements. The player's character, Enoch, starts the game unarmed and is able to steal weapons from his enemies. The game has three primary weapons. The first is the Arch, a curved blade which also allows the user to float for short periods. The second weapon is the Gale, a ring like weapon that provides a quick dash ability, and the power to fire small darts in rapid succession. The third weapon is the Veil, a shield that also acts as a pair of gauntlets, providing the strongest defense and a strong punch. The Gale is the fastest weapon of the three, the Veil being the slowest. All of the holy weapons become corrupt as they are used and routinely they have to be purified. A corrupt weapon is weaker than a purified weapon. The player performs combos with the rhythmic use of one button.

Release Date: July 26th 2011
Platforms: PS3, 360

Just ignore that comment about Lady Gaga. Microsoft likes listening to shitty music.

Meh might give it a try since luci involved.

I enjoyed the hell out of the demo. It reminded me of Devil May Cry's combat in a way and the relentless enemies of Ninja Gaiden. Plus the art style is amazing.

MC reminds me of someone important from somewhere. I guess we need new fresh characters.

He looks more like Fabio to me. A lot of the characters in the game are made to look like famous celebrities.

LOL I can't believe it's not butter! Should be a line in the game.
