Full review over at: https://www.nepikigaming.com/reviews/aggelos/

''Aggelos is a title inspired by the good ol’ Wonder Boy games, and it succeeds exceedingly well at capturing the feel of this era in gaming. This world is a joy to explore, with secrets to find around every corner and it being generally easy to navigate even without fast travelling. Everything regarding combat is pretty simple to understand, but that’s how it should be for games like these. The collectable elements also add a nice variety to the combat, specifically for the fun and challenging boss battles. In general, I can say that the game is fairly challenging, but some of it is also artificial due to the purchase of new gear which turns it all around. I would say that the light RPG elements also help turn around the difficulty, but I honestly couldn’t tell because this game has some issues when it comes to the UI. There is no status screen indicating what levelling actually does beyond guessing that my stats increase, and the map is good looking but not even functional in the slightest. The Steam port makes it even worse as accessing the menu feels scary to do with it constantly feeling like it’s going to crash. All of these are definitely valid issues, but fortunately didn’t hamper the overall enjoyment too much.''
