Over the last couple of months I have teased about the upcoming release, and even posted a trailer, and now I finally bring the official news: Golvellius, the classic adventure game from 1987 has been released in the iTunes App Store.
Here is the press release:
DotEmu, publisher specialized in bringing retro games to life, is proud to announce the launch of the famous late 80′s adventure title Golvellius: Valley of Doom. The game is available for download worldwide on the Apple Appstore.
First developed in 1987 by Compile on MSX, Golvellius has then been said as the Master System answer to Legend of Zelda. Providing an improved user interface and gameplay tweaks, the iPhone version will delight both fans and newcomers.
The evil Golvellius has kidnapped the Princess Rena and is spreading terror in the valley. As the brave knight Kelesis, you must get her back! Golvellius has sent seven of his fiercest demons hidden in caves to stop you. Some caves can be opened by defeating the beasts of the valley and some other ones will appear when you get certain objects in your inventory. Don’t forget to buy crystals upon defeating each demon. For in some caves you will find fairies, sorceress and the wise women who will help you by selling objects to improve your strength, bibles to increase your max amount of gold and life potions.
Now get in there and save the Princess! Can’t you hear her calling for help?* Get the true feeling of a retro game on your iPhone
* Huge gaming area and many hidden passages to discover
* Unique gameplay alternating caves, dungeons, and maps
* Improved playability for the iPhone
* Smart saving/loading system
* High quality music from the 80’s
Now all that remains is for me to play it and do a review!
