Developer Crim and iconic producer Sawaki Takeyasu have announced that El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to PC via Steam, this April, with the expected release date to be somewhere in the middle.

The story is inspired by the apocryphal Book of Enoch, and follows a scribe seeking seven fallen angels to prevent a great flood from destroying mankind. He is helped in his quest by Lucifel, a guardian angel in charge of the protection of the world who exists outside of the flow of time, alongside four Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron combines many genre elements within its story, along with its glorious anime style graphical presentation, which changes dramatically as the player progresses through a totally mesmeric experience. With the recent rise of the graphical novel games, what is offered within El Shaddai goes far beyond these confines in that action, strategy and platforming are just a few of the challenges and exciting dangers that unfold.
