El Shaddai coming to Android as side-scroller

by JC Fletcher on Sep 15th 2011 1:55PM

Ignition's bizarre but beautiful action game, El Shaddai, is visiting Earth once again in an Android incarnation. Famitsu has the first screens of the game currently called ... El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron Android Version.

While the original game had both 2D platforming and 3D action segments, the mobile version is strictly 2D -- but the screens show that it keeps the distinctive visual style(s) from the console release. The two screens show locations found in the first game.

It'll be released in Japan at a date to be announced, through GMO's market. An Xperia Play version is also planned.

...What?

That's a great way to dilute a previously ultra strong new brand.

@Rain

How does this dilute the brand? It looks pretty nice. I'll download this if it comes here.

the 2d part of el shaddai was the best part of the game so this kinda makes sense

I put this game in my Gamefly queue after watching this vid...gotta love LtMkilla and his commentary.
