The  Metroidvania title Mable and The Wood has launched on Xbox One today marking its first branch into the console. This game was released on August 23 for PC and has received a 6/10 review, but many fans are raving about this title nonetheless. Graffiti Games is another developer bringing their dreams to life with the power of Kickstarter.

The game began with a simple concept, a girl who could not lift her sword. Quickly it evolved into an epic adventure full of magic, mystery, and choices. Every decision impacts the world and changes how the ending will be. The power is in your hands, and as you drag your blade across the land, you have the power to make a difference.

The game follows the story of Mable, a young girl who has been resurrected to save the world. An old prophecy held by a cult od strange people say she will hunt down the Great Beasts, take their shape and use their powers to save this dying world.

You may not be able to lift your sword, but Mable has a power all of her own. She can shape-shift into different forms and explore the world, killing the creatures that inhabit it. If you defeat the bosses, you unlock their form to shape-shift into. This gives you their abilities like swinging as a spider or digging through the ground like a mole.

This game lets you be creative and do things your way. You can find hidden paths to avoid the bosses. You can also traverse the entire game without killing anything. The choice is yours on how you conquer the game and save this digital world.

The game features choices that matter. It is up to you whether you follow the advice of the cult that brought you back and kill everything. Multiple endings are possible through multiple choices. As you explore, you will find a diverse cast of characters who have their own opinion of why the world is ending, or if it is just evolving.

This large and beautiful fantasy world has been brought to life with state-of-the-art pixel technology mixed with a wonderful original soundtrack. This immersive story experience brings the thoughts fo a more classic genre to mind where fantastical people defeated fantastical beasts.

The game is available on the Xbox Store for $14.99 or can be purchased on PC via Steam for the same price. If you are a fan of indie development games and want to see a new pixel adventure, then this game is a perfect addition to your collection.
