Independent game developer PencilTest Studios and publisher Versus Evil announced the release of Armikrog for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4  today. The game will set you back $9.99, £7.99 or €9.99.

The point and click adventure was released on Steam last year to pretty good reviews, and features the same kind of humour as the creative team's most famous game: Earthworm Jim.

Pencil Test Studios co-founder Mike Dietz stated:

“When we initially funded our game through Kickstarter there was demand for a Wii U version and it totally made sense from a design standpoint. Armikrog was created using classic sculpting, set building and clay and puppet fabrication techniques and it truly was a labor of love.  After the release on PC we were able to turn our attention to the console versions of the game and we are incredibly happy to announce that console gamers can now play our creation on the console platform of their choice!”

Versus Evil General Manager Steve Escalante continues:

"Armikrog is a great stop-motion experience that can now be enjoyed on the consoles. A handcrafted, one-of-a-kind video game, Armikrog appeals to gamers of all ages and it has been amazing seeing this game come to life.  Its transition to the major consoles is a treat and we are very excited to launch a game on all three consoles!”

The game releases today for PS4, Xbox One and Wii U.

  • This has the same exact vibe of Skill monkeys from the PS1 days, color me excited because I loved that game.
  • I have read several reviews of Armikrog the PC version. Did they fix any issues? I really liked Neverhood and I don't need a perfect game to like it but to experience claymation is for me just enough :).
  • BOUGHT!!!! :-)
