Foregone
iOS, (Big Blue Bubble)
Foregone, a 2D action game, is similar to Dead Cells at least on the surface and was first launched on platforms last spring. However, although having some slight Metroidvania elements, this is a far more condensed gaming experience.
Beginning with a double leap, melee attack, and ranged attack, you quickly find and upgrade armor, magic rings, firearms, swords, and other weapons in your quest to become an excessively strong killing machine, each excursion allowing you to explore a little more.
On PC and consoles, it seemed a little puny, but on mobile, its scale and adorable pixel art graphics work wonderfully, albeit even on an iPad, some of the buttons are small enough to be challenging.
Years after a devastating war, the city of Calagan is once again besieged by an all-corrupting force known as the Harrow. As the city’s strongest super-soldier, it’s up to you to investigate the Harrow’s origins and prevent its reanimated minions from destroying the world you’ve sworn to protect. But the Harrow isn’t just reviving the dead – it’s dredging up memories better left forgotten.
Foregone is a fast and fluid 2D action-platformer packed with legendary loot and stunning pixel art. Collect an arsenal of powerful weapons and upgradeable skills, then use them to shoot and slash your way through hand-crafted pixel environments hiding a treasure trove of secrets. Unravel a compelling story of regret and conspiracy as you slice your way through hordes of enemies and carry out your mission to save Calagan from total annihilation.
