Menes: The Chainbreaker, an Egyptian-inspired action-adventure from solo developer Adrian Podaru and publisher Rage Game Studio, is out now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. It supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so one purchase covers Xbox consoles and Xbox on PC.
You play as Menes in a desert prison realm, where imprisoned gods are both inmates and jailers. Successful parries strengthen Daedalus, your living sword, and wings let you cross dangerous ground and strike enemies in the air. The Xbox Store also highlights demanding platforming, environmental storytelling and an original soundtrack by Silent Strike. Podaru made the game in Romania over about three years, with a lot of help from friends, and it comes with 24 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore.
The Xbox Store lists it for £11.04 / $13.16, down from £12.99 / $15.49, until 28 November.
