When developer Grimtalin released The Adventures of Elena Temple over a year and a half ago, it turned out to be an accomplished platformer in its own right which had a unique selling point of being able to display the on-screen action in various different styles which were reminiscent of many old PC's and video game consoles from days gone by spanning several decades.

It's a very enjoyable game which scored rather well when we reviewed it last year, though it was noted that the length of the title was fairly short so any way to add in extra replay value would have been very welcome indeed.

Fast-forward to late in 2019, as The Adventures of Elena Temple: Definitive Edition has been released which adds in a lot of extra content and new ways to play all for £4.49 (£3.59 -20% until 31/12/2019) plus a discount on the Nintendo eShop for anyone who owns the original title.

Look out for a potential review of this definitive edition of the game on N-Europe sometime in the new year.

Check out the details and most importantly the very recently released trailer below...
