“For then there will be great distress, unequalled from the beginning of the world until now – and never to be equalled again”. Matthew 24:21. Fincon, the makers of the RPG HELLO HERO, has released a cinematic teaser trailer for their new Hack and Slash called Angel Stone.
The idea for the game was inspired by the above verse in the Bible, as well as the ideas of prophecy, angels, and demons. Angel Stone’s story occurs during the end of days, a time of great darkness and destruction have overtaken the world. While people have only angels to protect them during such tumult, there’s no one to protect the angels in their battle against the armies of Hell, thus leaving the prayers of humanity left unanswered, with only the archangel Michael and a remnant of humanity left. The surviving humans begin to collect the remains of the fallen angels, called angel stones, and thus use divine power to fight back against the demonic forces bent on humanity’s destruction.
In the cinematic trailer above, we see one such human take on, and skillfully dispatch, a demon that is quite large. Also according to the press release, the trailer was done “in collaboration with Blur, an award-winning American-based production studio known for its beautiful cinematic work on Avatar, League of Legends, Elder Scrolls Online, BioShock, Halo and more”. The game is set to release in the middle of 2015, with no pricing information given. We’ve included a second video below which shows the game being playing on multiple platforms including mobile.
