Help get AeternoBlade on PS Vita via Indiegogo

Malaysian developer CoreCell, (behind Wicked Monsters Blast! and Crazy Strike Bowling) is bringing AeternoBlade to the Vita, if it gets enough sponsorship through Indiegogo. The game is a 3D side scrolling action platform game, also coming to 3DS and other platforms. It needs to hit $60,000 for the Vita version to get made. If you're into your Castlevania-style games then this could be one worth chipping in for.


The player follows Freyja on her epic quest for vengeance through countless dimensions. The game has 44 days to get funding and has just started out, so please invest if you think you'd enjoy this kid of game. Check out the video for all the game details.
