Arvoesine: NES-style Platformer Starring A Roman Soldier
July 6, 2010 6:00 AM | Eric Caoili
Australian independent game developer Alastair John Jack (Ainevoltas 2, Classicvania) has released another pixely platformer, Arvoesine. He describes the title as "a challenging action game where you play as a Roman soldier". It features 8-bit music from chiptune artist and fellow indie designer Ben "Pgil" Pettengill
I'm not sure how a Centurion would manage to run into a rifle-carrying guard defending a fortress lined with cannons, as is demonstrated in the above screenshot but that sort of wacky anachronism makes me want to play this NES-style platformer even more!
Arvoesine is available to purchase for PCs for $5. Though Alastair John Jack hasn't yet released a trailer allowing you to see the game in motion, you can download a free demo from his site to try it out. More screenshots of Arvoesine after the break!

Hmm...i was wondering if Alastair has some Finnish contacts because "Arvoesine" translates as "valuable object"... :)
