After the massive launch of Quantum Break on the Xbox One earlier this week, new releases on the console appeared to slow down which was probably a good idea seeing how well its been received. With everyone playing Quantum Break, it would be near-impossible to market a smaller title at the same time.
The drought is over today however with the arrival of Tron RUN/r and five other titles on Xbox One.
The first of these five is a 2d platformer called, Jumpjet Rex. The game follows the adventures of a cute little T-Rex that must jump and run through over 40 regular levels, a variety of party modes, and both one player and local co-op multiplayer. Here’s the official description:
Take control of a T-Rex with extraterrestrial jump boots, tasked with saving dino-kind from extinction in this highly challenging, 2-D platformer. Race against the clock as you jump, drop and dash your way through 40+ challenging levels to preserve life during the Mesozoic era! JumpJet Rex features beautiful hand-drawn 16-bit graphics and awesome chiptune music that transfers players back to the 2-D platforming glory days.
The second game out this week is Lichdom: Battlemage. This first-person shooter has a magical fantasy twist with a variety of magical attacks and effects at the player’s disposal. If the screenshots are anything to go by, this game will look amazing in action.
In this fierce, first person spell-caster, you play as “Dragon,” a scorned mage out to seek revenge on Shax, the evil overlord who destroyed your family. Using an arsenal of unlimited spells as your only form of weaponry, you must fight off hordes of evil cult members, monsters, and demons summoned from the abyss in a mission to avenge your loved ones.
