Burton-on-Trent, UK - 10th September 2024. A love letter to action-platformers with a roguelike twist Elsie has BLASTED on PC, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch TODAY! Take on hordes of deadly robots and survive intense boss fights as Elsie, the female android powerhouse and all-round badass! Are you up for the challenge?
