Armaeth: The Lost Kingdom

Armaeth: The Lost Kingdom looks like a cousin of Prince of Persia who dropped out of school to study magic mushrooms. You play a vaguely heroic dude exploring a crumbling kingdom full of traps, bats, and possibly regret. The platforming is floaty, the combat’s mostly guesswork, and the animations are... enthusiastic. But for all its quirks, there’s a strange charm here — like an ‘80s fantasy VHS come to life. Just don’t expect to know what’s going on, and bring a guide unless you enjoy dying in the same lava pit fifty times.
