First Screenshots of beautiful 2.5D sidescrolling adventure Shu

Coatsink Software has posted the first screenshots and details of its 2.5D sidescrolling adventure Shu, which is currently being developed for the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita, with an estimated release window of mid-2015.

The screenshots showcase a beautiful vibrant world wherein the titular character journeys through various locales, including forests, grasslands and mountains, comes upon a group of villagers stranded due to a deadly storm, and attempts to lead them to safety while trying to evade the clutches of the storm.

Each of the group’s members has unique abilities which can be of great use to the player, though you must take care that the storm doesn’t snatch your companions away.
