SolSeraph is a platformer RTS hybrid by the Zeno Clash crew due July 10th

SolSeraph

Build your cities and set up defensive structures to protect them from the constant threat of monsters. Brought to you by ACE Team, SolSeraph combines action and strategy for a rich gameplay experience reminiscent of the 16-bit era.

Ace Team, the loons behind Zeno Clash and Rock Of Ages, have just announced their secret project and it’s just weeks away. Out on July 10th, SolSeraph is a hybrid platformer and tower defence RTS that they call “a homage to some inspiring titles from the 16 bit era”. I’d guess that’s a lawyer-dodging way of saying that they’ve gone and made a spiritual successor to SNES gem ActRaiser, right down to copying the title’s capitalisation. As a fan of both the studio and ActRaiser, I am extremely excited. Take a look at the announcement trailer below.
