So… what is Drel? In brief writing, it seems to be a puzzle game where you control an orbiting… thing of sorts and have to go about building a high enough tower. Over the course of the game you may encounter other players in a Journey-like style where they can help in building the tower. In video form (swearing warning if needed):
It showcases rather neatly how fun the game can be and it’s coming to the WiiU. What’s even cooler is the fact that the developers fought for cross-platform play… and they got it! The game’s director Christian Etter says:
Dreii is all about connecting people. Once opening the game you will be secretly connected with all other players, in real time and across the globe. In the concept version this was only possible on specific devices. Being truly about uniting everybody we sat down with the people from all popular game platforms and talked to them about letting their players connect with the players from the rival platforms
It took a lot of persuasion, but now we’re extremely happy to release Dreii on all seven major game platforms and let everybody play with each other – across different cultural and technical setups.
This will be on my list for definites. Catch you guys around if you decide to get it too!
