EGM - First shots of Empire: Alpha Complex!

X-Power has got their hands on a scan of Chair Entertainments upcoming XBLA game. The Empire property - which is owned by Chair themselves - in recent years had a book written for it by famed author Orson Scott Card, as well as other projects based around the franchise.


Empire: Alpha Complex will be Chair's next game, and will be available for "all" downloadable platforms. Still using the Unreal engine, E:AC will be a 2D side scrolling game in the style of classic Metroid and Castlevania titles. From the looks of it, maybe a little Bionic Commando Rearmed too.

The entire scan can be viewed below. Personally, I was disappointed with Undertow - Chair's previous game, however this one certainly has a lot of promise just from the screenshots. Keep it up!
