Players will jump, slide, throw their dagger through gaps and laser walls, avoid deadly robot foes, leap over spike traps and much more in the levels on offer in Aeon Drive. The movement in Aeon Drive is extremely fluid and responsive and for a game built all-around speed and racing to a finish line, this is paramount to its success. What are her abilities you might be asking? Well, Jack has a dagger which she can throw and teleport to and can also sword slash her way through enemies. ![]() The gameplay in Aeon Drive, therefore, becomes an incredibly frantic, fast-paced dash to the end of a level with Jack using her abilities to get through these levels as quickly as possible. Jack will have to race through each of these levels within 30 seconds while picking up time capsules which can be used to extend her time limit in 5-second increments when she has enough charge available. There are 10 larger areas in Aeon Drive with 10 levels contained within each area. VERA uses her abilities to slow down the universe by 30 seconds allowing Jack to retrieve power cells and stop her ship from blowing up the planet. This is where Jack’s Artificial Intelligence companion VERA comes into play. Her ship’s reactor however is about to go critical and take the entire planet with her unless she retrieves her lost power cells and stabilises the core. Jack ends up in a new dimension featuring a neon-soaked futuristic Earth and lands in Neo Barcelona. ![]() Players will take on the role of Jackelyne, who is also known less formally as Jack. ![]() The story of Aeon Drive is pretty straightforward. Launching the game, players will be treated to a beautiful intro cinematic with an absolute banger of a song sung by Megan McDuffee (You might remember her from her vocal OST work on the equally as awesome, River City Girls). Players who love games such as Ghostrunner or 2D platformers where reaction times and skill play a large role in progression will love Aeon Drive. Aeon Drive from 2Awesome Studio and CRITICAL REFLEX is a fantastic platformer built all-around speed as its core gameplay mechanic.
