Who is El Testigo?!?!?!
Aban Hawkins and the 1,001 Spikesis almost ready for release, with a total of 18 playable characters currently ready to go. We’ve already heard aboutCommander Video(Bit.Trip),Nyx(Nyx Quest),Thompson, Sugimoto, and Zombie(Tempura of the Dead), leaving plenty to the imagination regarding the remainder of the cast.
A close inspection ofthis new playthough of the gamereveals a lot of new playable characters, most of whom are protagonist Aban Hawkins in various degrees of cosplay. There’s Slayer Aban (inspired byCastlevania?), Adventure Aban (inspired byUncharted?), Soldier Aban (inspired byContra?), Fighter Aban (inspired byStreet Fighter?) Knight Aban (inspired byGhosts ‘N Goblins?), and Ninja Aban (inspired byNinja Gaiden?). As for all new characters, we get a clear view of El Testigo (“from that one movie“), and a mysterious pale skinned blonde. Who could they be? What does all this mean?
Other recent previews of the game mentioned a character named “Mr. Video Game” who looks and plays like Mario. This all sounds too good to be true, but that doesn’t mean it’s all lies. Hopefully we’ll get to find out what’s really going on with1,001 Spikessoon enough.
