Antro from Selecta Play, Gatera Studio, and Astrolabe Games is a 2.5D platformer that will have you exploring the titular underground metropolis. You’ll be taking on the role of a Nittch, a nihilist and lonely delivery guy on a mission to deliver a package to an unknown recipient. Unfortunately, this ends up getting the attention of the totalitarian government of La Cúpula, which means you’re inclined to join the rebellion of Los Discordantes to stay alive and try to make an actual difference. Humanity now lives underground after the Collapse, which left behind only roughly 1% of the world’s population. Antro now stands under what used to be the city of Barcelona.

Antro is most certainly not what used to be Barcelona. Under the evil regime of La Cúpula, freedom of speech has been completely censored. On top of that, art and music have been forbidden. As expected, this has made a considerably large group of people stand up in rebellion against this. The inhabitants of the lowest strata of Antro are barely managing to stay alive while doing forced labor, with the people who live at the highest levels dictating what happens deep underground. The game will make good use of Hip Hop, Drill, R&B, and electronic music, which helps to set the mood for what’s about to happen.

 

Once you jump into action, you’ll be taking control of Nittch by using the left analog stick or the D-Pad. You can slide by pressing the Circle button and will be able to interact with objects and other characters by pressing the Triangle button. Jump by pressing the X button. You can also wallrun by pressing the X button near. Once you find a weapon, you’ll be able to hit objects or enemies by pressing the Square button. The game will mix exploration levels with musical levels that will play more like an autorunner. Elements in musical levels will be synced to that specific song, so there will be some trial and error for you to consider.

Trophy-wise, Antro has a full trophy list with a Platinum trophy for you to try to add to your collection. The list is split into 23 Bronze trophies, 5 Silver trophies, and 6 Gold trophies to work on. You will get trophies for completing each of the game’s districts, completing each of the songs with the autorunner gameplay, finding your first collectible, finding each individual collectible that you grab, finding every collectible, breaking every Cúpula sign, and painting six graffitis in the city, to name some examples.
