A smaller booth at Tokyo Game Show unveils a hidden gem: Edge of Twilight.
TOKYO, JAPAN: Navigating the crowd at this year's Tokyo Game Show 2008, I found what could be the underdog game of the entire show, at least for American gamers. Granted I found this game day one of TGS, who knows what else I may find on the show floor.
Edge of Twilight is a third-person action-adventure game best described as Legacy of Kain meets Devil May Cry in a steam punk universe. You play as Lex, a half-breed bounty hunter torn between two realms - Day and Night - each changing Lex into two different personas. During the day, Lex is a combat brawler. He carries a gun-blade that doubles as a formidable axe and shotgun, which can be charged up to dismember enemies. During the Night, Lex turns into a creepy Lord of the Rings Golem-type creature that is much more agile. Although there is combat in the Night realm, platforming elements take the center stage as Golem Lex is able to leap much further, grab onto ledges, and even invert the environment to walk on ceilings.
Beyond what I just mentioned, not much else was shown of Edge of Twilight. But for a game that's a year away, it's already looking really good. The graphics are impressive and the framerate never hiccupped. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this title. Edge of Twilight is a 2009 game coming to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
