On the once proud planet of Astara, the inhabitants lead a peaceful existence among the remains of their world. One dark day the Shadowraith, also know as 'Dark Yabu', rained terror down upon the world. His minions quickly enslaving the townsfolk, forcing them to work deep in the caves. Vexx's grandfather was one of the first to fall, and our hero, Vexx, just managed to escape with his own life by slipping aboard the enemy's windship. There, locked deep within Yabu's sanctum, was the last pair of Astani Battlegauntlets, which bonded with Vexx, giving him special powers. Now Vexx embarks upon a heroic quest through volcanic islands, desert temples, frozen citadels, and giant's castles, to confront the evil Dark Yabu, save his people, and avenge the death of his grandfather.
Vexx features 18 stunning levels spanning treetop canopy villages, mysterious caves, desert temples, underwater cities and deadly volcanoes. Vexx can climb uneven surfaces and dangle beneath overhangs to help him reach his goal. Each of the levels has a distinguishing landmark, which can be viewed in real-time from anywhere in the game world. Day turns to night, and the nighttime effects the landscape, other characters, and the enemies become even more aggressive.
Silicon Fusion had the pleasure of seeing Vexx running recently, and we are happy to report that Vexx is shaping up to be a first-rate platformer for the Xbox. Just have a look at these screens!
