Judero is a bare-chested warrior priest with a heart of gold who defends the Scottish Borders from the predations of Seelie and nasty guys from Carlisle.
I already dug the demo for Judero, a new action adventure game from developer duo Talah Kaya and Jack King-Spooner, but the full game is managing to surpass my expectations: Judero is weird, and it is well-worth your time.
The art style is the immediate hook, making use of modified action figures and handcrafted clay models digitized into sprites, a distinctly ’90s sort of rendering reminiscent of Doom or Fallout 1’s Talking Heads. The cutscenes, meanwhile, are full-on stop motion animation, with Spooner’s unsettling clay sculptures reminding me of Ray Harryhausen or Phil Tippett’s work.
