Remember the Adventure designed entirely by hand by Coatsink entitled Shu ? Probably not, since the announcement of the game it's been almost two years. Shu is a 2.5 D platformer that combines characters in two dimensions in vivid 3D scenarios. As the fearless protagonist Shu, players run, jump, glide and use special abilities (gained by saving the villagers) to escape a apocalyptic storm that is consuming the world.

The release of Shu was initially scheduled for 2015, but late last year the study assessed the progress and figured out that they could do better. The development continued, but now Coatsink is pleased to announce that, after several revisions, Shu will finally be available on 4 October on PS4.

Some of the deeper revisions relate to the appearance and behavior of the storm, the layer structure (now more suited to the dynamics of the race) and the operation of certain powers. New features have been added, such as time trials and rankings.

In Shu , which is inspired by games like Rayman, Klonoa and Sonic, Donkey Kong Country (just to name a few), there are many different scenarios, each one with a peculiar style and peopled with inhabitants only ones that will provide you with new skills and variations in gameplay. The firm has enhanced graphics and levels are now more vivid and engaging.

A fundamental change in the dynamics of the game is death of the characters. As mentioned, during the trip to Shu will save the villagers, which in return will give you new skills. Previously, these characters were used as extra lives: having reached Shu, the storm I would grab one to eat it. In this way, the player lost the ability of that character but had more time to escape.

The study found that its implementation would create a number of problems, especially the need to create multiple paths in each level. This type of variety, which can be considered a bonus, forced some players to travel the road less interesting, reserving the best only to those who could keep all the inhabitants. We believe that its removal has made the experience more enjoyable.

However, developers are limited to remove functions, but they have also added new ones.

Comparing the old and new trailer (also visible at the bottom of the news) you can see the changes made in the game from its conception to the present.

You can play the title hand-painted by October 4, 2016 on PlayStation 4. By purchasing this version, you will get a free one for PS Vita, which will arrive during the last quarter of the year.
