Look at this gorgeous hand-drawn video game, 'Sundered'
Plenty of video games get by on name recognition or developer pedigree, but Sundered can sell you with a screenshot.
The newly announced game from Thunder Lotus -- the studio behind the quite-great 2015 game, Jotun -- boasts the same hand-drawn aesthetic as its predecessor. But where the earlier game was all about fighting Norse mythology-inspired bosses from an overhead perspective, this is a side-scroller set in a cursed land.
There's not much more than a trailer (above), a few screens (below) and a basic synopsis at this point. Sundered won't be out until 2017, though more will be shared at the upcoming TwitchCon 2016, which runs from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.
