Virago reach Top 10 for new free games in the US
Honest Chronicle’s Virago has reached the Google Play Store number 10 slot for the top new free games in the United States (US).
The hyper-casual 2D adventure platformer which was developed by Nigerian Sunday Akor has received a lot of praise since its release on May 15 and the positive feedback effect can be seen game’s downloads have surpassed 1000.
Sunday announced the achievement on his social handles stating “So glad to announce that Virago is currently on the number 10 list for top new free games in the US having over 50 reviews in just 3 days of release and over 2k+ downloads.”
Virago tells the story of Willow, a young girl called who after an incident with her stalker begins to suffer from hallucinations which affect her psychologically and emotionally.
The game seems to take inspiration from other indie titles such as Playdead and Double Eleven’s popular puzzle-platformer Limbo but differentiates itself by telling a unique story with unique features – such as giving the player delayed/slow attacks as a way to implement Willow’s severe anxiety in the game.
The game is also available on Steam where it received a mixed reception with 60% of players recommending the game.
However, it seems Sunday has taken the time to fix most of the problems gamers had with Virago on Steam as the mobile port of the game has received a more positive reception.
If you are looking to get your hand on the title it is currently available on Steam for $9.99 or you can get the mobile version of the game on the Google Play Store.
