Publisher Playtonic Friends and developer Knight Shift Games are excited to share a new action-packed trailer, highlighting the star-studded cast of voice actors for the upcoming rogue-like action platformer Elsie. Set to release on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch on September 10th, 2024, this trailer reveals the impressive lineup of talent bringing the game to life. From the powerful android Guardians to the heroes Dr. Grey, Andru, and the protagonist herself, the team has gathered a cast that adds depth and energy to the characters and their stories.

The cast brings a new dimension to the fast-paced gameplay, with voices that reflect the intensity of the battles and the charisma of the characters. The protagonist Elsie, voiced by Elsie Lovelock, is an android created by Dr. Grey to save the planet Ekis from an impending crisis. Armed with advanced technology and driven by the will to protect the city of Neotoño, Elsie leads a mission filled with action and challenges, facing hordes of enemies and epic boss battles.

The game also features Andru, voiced by Alex Octopimp Gross, a prototype guardian created after the attack on the city. Andru is a melee-focused character, using blade weapons and powerful boosts to become an unstoppable force in close combat. Alongside Elsie, he plays a crucial role in defending the planet.

In addition to the main heroes, the game's Guardians—such as Celestia, Rosalyn, Ashe, and Trishula—possess unique abilities to control natural and environmental elements. Each of them plays a specific role in the storyline and offers players a varied experience. The Guardians are essential in helping uncover the mystery behind the attack on Ekis and assisting Elsie in her mission.

The game is not just about action but also involves strategy and exploration, where NPCs play key roles. Hebbi, the Architect, Gordon, the Cook, and Remy, the Armorer, are just a few of the allies players will encounter throughout the journey. These characters help enhance Elsie’s abilities, unlocking weapons, items, and magic essential for progressing through the challenging levels.

With its neo-retro visual style combined with frenetic gameplay and procedurally generated levels, Elsie offers a unique experience in the rogue-like genre. With a high level of difficulty and a constant learning curve, players will need skill and patience to master the game. Each defeat presents a new opportunity to improve and tackle the challenges with a fresh approach.

In Elsie’s world, precision is key. Players must execute quick movements, such as parrying, to dodge attacks and defeat powerful bosses. The combination of fast combat and careful exploration provides an immersive and rewarding gaming experience.

With an engaging storyline and memorable characters, Elsie promises to be one of the major releases of the year in the rogue-like genre. The team behind the game has worked hard to ensure that every detail, from gameplay to voice acting, delivers a captivating and challenging experience for fans of the genre.
