VS/Studio has released the official Awaken trailer for Among the Waves, showcasing the 2.5D cyberpunk Metroidvania's atmospheric world and platforming mechanics.
Cyberpunk style and Metroidvania design continue to prove they make a fantastic combination. Developer VS/Studio recently dropped the official Awaken trailer for Among the Waves, giving players a fresh look at its striking 2.5D world. The footage showcases slick movement mechanics, atmospheric lighting, and the kind of intricate environmental design that fans of the genre live for.
