Playing: El Shaddai – Ascension of the Metatron

So yesterday I’ve received this in my Mailbox:El Shaddai - Box Art

Since I don’t really know how to describe this game, I’ll just quote PSM3 UK Magazine:

Developed by a hugely-talented, Tokyo-based team headed by the legendary Sawaki Takeyasu (Devil May Cry) and Masato Kimura (Okami, Viewtiful Joe) El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, draws players into a rich storyline inspired by events in the Old Testament’s apocryphal ‘Book of Enoch.’ In the game, players take on the role of Enoch and must harness his natural combat skills to master a range of powerful and Heavenly weapons under the guidance of the watchful Archangels. Only then will he be able to deliver the souls of the Fallen Angels and spare the world from a great flood ordered by Heaven.

Now this is interesting, isn’t it? Developed by the people behind Devil May Cry and Okami, this surely looks like a good play through :D It features various sorts of game play next to 3D Battles and Exploring it goes back to the 2D world as well and even features a driving section. It’s heavily stylized and seems to be cell shaded like Okami. Now I’ll go and play this. I’ll leave the trailer here for you people!
